Question

Our ship had barely reached the thick ice of the Antarctica when hurrying to meet us, came
the smaller penguins, those amusing birds which look so much like little fat men with black tail
coats and big white shirt fronts.
It was not until later that we saw an Emperor penguin. When he arrived, it was with dignity,
his bright orange head shaking sideways with a wise and knowing air. He was as tall and as
heavy as many a boy of twelve. The Adelie penguins, weighing about sixteen pounds each, were
standing on a ledge overhanging the sea. They presented an amusing sight. They wanted to dive,
but were prevented by fear of a possible lurking enemy
Penguins, these unusual birds, lost the ability to fly millions of years ago. Their wings
developed into flippers, which serve as paddles in the water. These flippers, and the webbed feet,
make them marvellous swimmers and divers. This helps them to catch fish which are their staple
food.
Even as we watched, one Adelie penguin fell off the sea ledge into the water. The others
peered down and when they saw no sea lion lurking in the waters, they all dived in.
