Question

Jijamata Udyan, the famous zoo in
Mumbai has acclimatised humbolt
penguins. Why should penguins be
acclimatised when kept at a place away
from their natural habitat?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The penguins should be acclimatised or made to adapt to the new environment as their bodies are found to be streamlined in order to drag away the water and their wings are also shaped like flippers to facilitate flying underwater.

Hence, when penguins are kept away from their natural habitat in scanty water, they are unable to exhibit their natural behaviour and needs to adapt to the changes.

Answer 2

Answer:

For better living and adapt environment, cold water, climatic condition.  

Explanation:

Acclimatisation of Penguins from their Natural Habitat:

• Specified species will require specific environmental condition
• Sustains cold temperature  
• Temperature that is icy is more tolerable by the penguins always.
• High humidity with hotter climate
• Acclimatisation is more in Mumbai.  

Thus, Mumbai zoo is selected by Humbolt Penguins as their better place of habitat than all other place in India. These species drain away water in a streamlined manner. The wings of this organism are shaped like flippers.
