Penguins

About Penguin
There are birds all over the place, they fly and eat. There are birds that can't fly. These unusually birds are penguins. Penguins have very good time. They swim in the freezing cold water of Antarctica. These birds can't fly because they don't have strong shoulder muscle and they have heavy bones. Its too heavy to fly. They are very fast swimmers and also jump out of the water like dolphins.

Whats on the Menu

Penguins eat mostly krill, fish, squid and other ocean lifeforms. Penguins aren't the only thing underwater. There predator like the killer whale, and sea lion. Penguins have to be careful to not be breakfast, lunch, or dinner to other animals. When they are hungry they jump into the water and swim very fast.

Surviving the Antarctica

There are four fury big cats that interests me. But only one that fascinated me a long time ago. The lion is a mammal. It means it has fur. The lion is a carnivore or in easier terms, a meat eater. The lion is considered king of the forest. The lion's mate is called lioness and the lion's cubs are called cubs. This animal is very fascinating. Read on to find out more...

Facts about the Lion


Lion is so amazing that with one thunderous roar it frightens mostly every animal in the area. Sadly people kill this animal for fur and other things. But keep in mind that this animal can hunt down people and kill them. This animal is vulnerable (threatened). Some jungle people need to watch their back. Remember that the lion aren't the only animals alive. There are more than 10,000 animals. What is your favorite animal?
