Read the passage and answer the following questions. Penguins- Penguins are birds with black and white feathers. They have wings, but they cannot fly. Instead, they spend most of their time gliding and soaring under water! When they are on land, they waddle back and forth. A group of penguins that lives together is called a colony. Penguins live near salt water, so that is what they drink. They have a special gland in their bodies that pushes the salt out of their beaks. Penguins find their food in the water too: fish, shrimp and krill. Penguins need to watch out for several predators. Some animals that eat penguins are leopard seals, sea lions and orcas (killer whales). Most people think that penguins live in very cold places like Antarctica, but they also live on the coasts of South America, Africa, Australia and the Galapagos Islands. Questions 1. How are penguins different from other birds? 2. What do penguins eat? 3. What is a group of penguins called? 4. Would you like to have a penguin for a pet? Why or why not? 5. Make an inference. What do you think predator means? Circle words or phrases in the passage that gave you a clue.
