You can tell because you always... hey have you ever noticed how blue the sky man my Coke tastes great. How the hell did penguins find Antarctica in the first place?\n\nSorry... what?

The Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri), at 1.1 meters (3 ft 9 in) tall and 30 kilograms (75 lb) in weight, is the tallest and heaviest of all penguins. It is the only penguin that breeds during the winter in Antarctica. Emperor Penguins eat mainly crustaceans (such as krill) but also indulge in consuming small fish and squid. In the wild, Emperor Penguins typically live for 20 years, but some records indicate a maximum lifespan of around 40 years. (The Emperor Penguin should not be confused with the King Penguin or the Royal Penguin.)\n\n\n\nPhysical characteristics\n\nAdults average about 1.1 metres (3 ft 9 in) and weigh 30 kilograms (75 lb) or more. The head and wings are black, the abdomen white, back bluish grey, bill purplish pink. On the sides of the neck, there are two golden circular stripes.\n\nLike the King Penguin counterpart, a male Emperor Penguin has an abdominal fold, the "brood pouch", between its legs and lower abdomen.\n\nEmperor penguin chicks are covered with a thick layer of light gray down. This covering ensures that they retain as much heat as possible, vital at this early stage when they are not capable of maintaining their body temperature. In addition, the infant emperor penguin's orbital area is covered in white downy feathers, unlike the all-black feathered head of the adult.\n\nA distinguishing characteristic between males and females is their call.\n\n\n\nEcology and behaviour\nEmperor Penguins, Ross Sea, Antarctica.\n\nEmperor Penguins are social animals, both foraging and nesting in groups. In severe weather the penguins huddle together for protection. They may be active day or night. Sexually mature adults travel throughout most of the year between the nesting area and foraging areas in the ocean. From January to March, Emperor Penguins disperse into the oceans, traveling and foraging in groups.\n\nTo find food, these penguins need to dive 150 to 250 meters (490-820 feet) into the Southern Ocean. The penguins can venture deeper, the deepest diving on record being 565 m (1870 ft). The longest they can hold their breath when underwater is 20 minutes. Their swimming speed is 6 km to 9 km per hour (4-6 mph), but they can achieve up to 19 km per hour (12 mph) in short bursts.\n\nOn land they alternate between walking with a wobbling gait and sliding over the ice on their bellies, propelled by their feet and their flipper-like wings. During the beginning of the Antarctic winter, in March and April, all mature Emperor penguins travel to colonial nesting areas, often walking 50 to 120 km from the edge of the pack ice.\n\nIn response to the cold, emperor penguins stand in compact huddles ranging in size between ten and many hundreds of birds, each leaning forward on a neighbor. Those on the outside tend to face inward and push slowly forward. This produces a slow churning action, giving each bird a turn on the inside.\n\nIn the wild, Penguin predators include Antarctic giant petrels, (Macronectes giganteus), Leopard seals, orca, skua, and sharks. Abandoned sled dogs and their progeny formerly preyed upon penguins before the removal of dogs from Antarctica.\n\n\n\n\nReproduction\n\nEmperor Penguins first begin to breed at approximately five years of age. Emperor penguins travel about 90 km inland to reach the breeding site. In March or April, the penguins start courtship, when the temperature can be as low as -40 degrees C (-40°F). Emperor penguins are serially monogamous. They have only one mate each year, and keep faithfully to that one other penguin, but each year, most choose different mates. In May or June, the female penguin lays one 450-gram (1 pound) egg, but at this point her nutritional reserves are exhausted and she must immediately return to the sea to feed. Very carefully, she transfers the egg to the male penguin, who will incubate the egg in his brood pouch for about 65 days consecutively without food by surviving on his fat reserves and spending the majority of the time

Sheep is a good word. But I prefer to call them penguins, they waddle (must be all those pot lucks they have at church).

Penguins have a special patch on their body that secretes oil. They use this oil to waterproof themselves so that they are less effected by the chilly waters.\nEmperor Penguins have developed a system that allows all of them to stay warm. They all huddle in one big group, which conserves their body temp. They cycle through which penguin gets to be on the inside and which on has to be on the outside. \nPenguins also have thick layers of fat that insulate them.

No bears in the South Pole. Only penguins.

All penguins have a white underside and a dark (mostly black) upperside. This is for camouflage. A predator looking up from below (such as an orca or a leopard seal) has difficulty distinguishing between a white penguin belly and the reflective water surface. The dark plummage on their backs camouflages them from above.

I would certainly choose that over most of the others... penguins are adorable!

You mean emperor penquins. They migrate hundreds of miles inland on Antarctica. They have to move inland to find land solid enough to support the weight of thousands of nesting penquins. The ice shelf around the continent would not be sufficient.

It's a type of penguin.\n\nAdelies are the archetypal penguins that are supposed to look like men in their dinner suits. They have a white front and a black back. They also have a white ring around the eye that is most pronounced in the breeding season. Juveniles can be recognised by their white chins.  \nChicks have uniform grey black plumage\n\n\ns

Swimming penguins have a colour scheme pretty similar to most other swimming (or flying) animals - light bottom and dark top side, in order to reduce contrast with the bottom or the surface when viewed from above or below. The colour scheme looks funny only when they are outside of the water and move bipedally, presenting the white underbelly to the front and the dark top to the behind.

penguins mate for life. May I offer my congratulations. I hope the two of you will be happy together.

The rockhoppers diet consists of krill, small fish and squid.Rockhoppers get their name from their ability to jump over rocks.Rockhopper penguins grow to be about 18 to 23 inches and usually weigh about 5 to 8 pounds. Rockhopper penguins live on islands in the Antartic regions of the world. When two rockhoppers mate they make their nest by digging small holes in the scrub. Usually they have two eggs, but one usually is eaten by predators while it is still an egg. The male and female take turns taking care of the egg(s). Once the egg hatches, the male takes care of it until it moves into a creche(a large group of chicks who huddle toghether to keep warm)

I'm going to guess Emperor Penguin, just because they are huge. But that's just a guess.

Kansas City.  But they are probably staying.  I LOVE THE PENGUINS!

Yes Penguins lay eggs\n\n1. Eggs may be white to bluish or greenish. The shape varies among species. In Humboldts and Adélies the egg is more or less round. In emperors and kings the egg is rather pear-shaped, with one end tapering almost to a point. \n\n2. Egg size and weight varies with species. From the records of SeaWorld's successful penguin breeding programs, emperor penguin eggs measure 11. 1 to 12.7 cm (4.4-5 in.) long and weigh 345 to 515 g (1 2.1-18 oz.), and Adélie penguin eggs measure 5.5 to 8.6 cm (2.2-3.4 in.) and weigh 61 to 153.5 g (2.1-5.4 oz.). \n\n3. A nest of eggs is called a clutch, and with the exception of emperor and king penguins, clutches usually contain two eggs. (Emperor and king penguins lay a single egg. ) A clutch with more than one egg presents a better chance of at least one chick surviving (del Hoyo, et al., 1992). \n\nPenguins dont have knees.\n\n1. Penguin legs are short and strong. Feet are webbed, with visible claws. The legs are set far back on the body to aid in streamlining and steering while swimming. This placement also causes penguins to stand vertically and walk upright (Marchant, 1990). \n\n2. Penguins walk with short steps or hops, sometimes using their bills or tails to assist themselves on steep climbs (del Hoyo, et al., 1992). The maximum walking speed for Adélie penguins is 3.9 kph (2.4 mph). Emperors and kings walk slowly and do not hop. The maximum speed for emperors is 2.8 kph (1.7 mph). Some species, like the rockhopper, jump from rock to rock (Miller-Schwarze, 1984; del Hoyo, et al., 1992). \n\n3. Antarctic species can move much faster over ice by "tobogganing" on their bellies, using their flippers and feet to help them move along (Simpson, 1976).
