Are penguins cold blooded?
489569
Just a quick thought here that may help you.  Under "cold blooded" - or ectothermic - we understand an organism that does not produce a relatively constant body core temperature by means of metabolitic activity etc., but rather regulates its temperature by shutteling between warmer and coller areas.  It takes on the temperature of its environment.  That would be detrimental in case of an animal living in antarctic conditions.  A penguin's blood would freeze, there would be crystalization, and the cells would eventually burst.  In other words, the penguin would be a very cold toast.\n\nNow, there are however ectothermic organisms in arctic and antarctic oceans, which maintain blood flow by using a chemcial anti-freeze.  This has been found, for example in some fishes (the plural is allowed here, since we aretalking about more than one species).  But penguins don't have anything like that and do not need it.  As others have mentioned above, they are very well insulated endotherms (maintain a relatively stable core temperature).\n\nHope this helps in addition to the other answers.

Assuming it's true, then it's probably because of creatures' abilities to adapt to their environments.  Over centuries, evolution and genetic mutations and such allow different species to form, to become most suitable for their habitat.\n\nHowever, I'm a bit doubtful that a snake, a cold-blooded animal, would be able to survive in such a cold region....

No!\nCold-blooded animals, such as fish and reptiles, are called ectotherms, meaning that they cannot control their internal temperature.

They are "cold blooded."  Unlike warm blooded mammals like humans, flies and other insects do not produce their own heat.   They need to get heat from outside sources, like the sun or the air.  When it's cold, they move slower because their whole physiology has slowed down.

Yes, I agree.  So are the Penguins.  \nOilers rock!    lol....

If polar bears had the opportunity to eat penguins, I'm quite sure they would. The reason they don't is because polar bears and penguins live a long distance apart. Polar bears live in Arctic regions of North America, Europe and Asia, whereas penguins live in the southern hemisphere. Some books imply that all penguins live in Antarctica. This is not true - in fact, only two species (the Adelie and emperor penguins) breed on Antarctica. Several species of penguins live around South America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand and the Galapagos penguins live on the Galapgos islands (surprise!), which are on the equator. This is still a long way from the Arctic. \n\nThe problem about polar bears and penguins relates to many Christmas cards etc, which show polar animals living together, when, in fact, they don't. \n\nI hope that this answers your question. \n\nAll the best \n\nHaley

None.  Polar bears, North Pole.  Penguins, South Pole.  Kind of a long swim there just for a bite of penguin, donchya think ;-) ?

no because cold blooded animals are dependant of the  environment temperature \nif the temperature outside drops to 0 C you would die

do you like penguins? do you wanna practice making-out on each other? do i look fat in this? are you my friend? is my brother annoying? do you believe in god? aliens? ghosts? do you like rats? do you eat meat? do you worship penguins? do you think worms will one day rule the world? did you steal that rat from the pet store?\n\nduh. hell no. hell yeah. umm...dadada. fuck yes! no. yes. yep. what do you think? i have 6. meat is murder! doesn't everyone? no penguins will. no, i rescued her in my pocket without paying for her.

snail being a mammal is warm blooded

Some penguins mate for life, while others for just one season. They generally raise a small brood, and the parents cooperate in caring for the clutch and for the young. During the cold season on the other hand the mates separate for several months to protect the egg. The male stays with the egg and keeps it warm, and the female goes out to sea and finds food so that when it comes home, the baby will have food to eat. Once the female comes back, they switch.

Penguins have a very large amount of body fat for insulation; this enables them to keep their core temperature very high, and allows them to circulate enough blood to their feet to keep them from freezing.

Penguins are birds (Aves) in that they have feathers, lay eggs and have forelimbs modified as wings (but in this case used for swimming). They also share all the other characteristics of birds, being warm-blooded (around 40 deg C) and having a reduced reproductive system (one functional ovary or testis).\nLike all other birds, penguins have feathers. Penguin feathers are short, overlapping and densely packed. The outer part of the feather is waterproof while the inner down section traps an insulating layer of air, keeping the penguin warm in the sometimes freezing water. Unlike those of flying birds, the feathers on a penguin wing are very short.

Spheniscidaeaphobia.  Spheniscidae is the scientific family name of penguins

Maybe ice worms, they live in glacial ice.  Some microbes have been found in Antarctica ice.  I can't find any information if Orcas or leopard seals hang out at the North Pole.  Emperor Penguins live at Antarctica.

There was a short piece after the theatrical release that showed how the cameramen filmed the movie.  It is probably on the DVD also.  Basically, two guys braved the severe cold and filmed the penguins from a short distance.

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
