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 when kept at a place away from their natural habitat 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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The penguins need to be acclimatised when kept away from their natural habitat as their body is formed in a way such as to sustain in water and also fly underwater.

1. The bodies of the penguins are streamlined such that they can easily drag away the water.

2. Their wings are also shaped like flippers to facilitate flying underwater.

Hence, penguins if kept in scanty water, they are unable to exhibit their natural behaviour and need to adapt to the changes.
