Question

write down words./ phrase that describe the parts
of the body of a penguin.​

Answer 1

A penguin has a large head, short neck, and elongated body. The tail is short, stiff, and wedge-shaped. The legs and webbed feet are set far back on the body, which gives penguins their upright posture on land.

A group of penguins is called a colony, a rookery or a Waddle, but these terms are for a group of penguins on land. A group of penguins floating in the ocean is called a raft. The small chicks concentrate in groups called creches, which often remain together for warmth in the absence of a developed plumage.

• Penguins are flightless birds.
• While other birds have wings for flying, penguins have adapted flippers to help them swim in the water.
• Most penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere.
• The Galapagos Penguin is the only penguin species that ventures north of the equator in the wild.

While penguins can't fly, their stiff flippers, webbed feet, and sleek shape make them expert swimmers. In fact, they spend most of their lives in the ocean and do nearly all of their hunting for krill, squid, and crabs underwater.
