Penguins are birds that cannot fly, but they swim very well and spend most of their lives in the sea. Penguins live on pack ice and in the oceans around Antarctica. They breed on the land or ice surfaces along the coast and on islands. All penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere.Penguins eat in the ocean. They eat fish, crustaceans (like krill,etc.) ,squid .
Of the 17 species of penguins, only four breed on the Antarctic continent itself: the Adelie, the Emperor, the Chinstrap and the Gentoo penguins. Most other species are found within the subantarctic regions which includes many coastal islands. Penguins are also found as far north as the Galapagos Islands, straddling the Equator. Natural enemies of the penguin include seals, Killer whales, and, in the case of young chicks and eggs, several species of seabirds. Healthy adult penguins have no predators on land, so they have no natural fear of humans. While they don’t like to be approached directly, these naturally curious birds will sometimes come quite close to a quiet observer to get a better look.
