         Isn't it amazing that penguins live just as well in water as they do on land.  A penguin from the phylum chordata is a vertebrate.  Penguins require a special habitat that they have adapted to.  

    Penguins have many unique characteristics that help them survive in their environments.  For example, one characteristic is that they use their bellies to slide down snow.  This characteristic helps penguins get places quicker.  Another example of a characteristic is that their wings are used as flippers.  This characteristic helps penguins swim in the ocean.  In addition they use their tales as rudders.  This characteristic helps penguins steer in different directions in the water.  In conclusion, penguins unique characteristics help them live in the wild.

    Penguins environments are isolated and are especially fit for them.  For example, they live in sub-Antarctic islands.  This element of their environment helps them because their main concern is to maintain a constant body temp and these islands help them do it.  Another example is that they live near water     The Adelie Penguin is the typical looking penguin, purely black and white, with white eye rings.   with plenty of fish.  This part of their habitat helps them because fish is their primary source for food and they drink water.  In addition, their territories can be rocky, icy, or snowy.  This element of the habitat helps them because they could easily find somewhere to live.  In conclusion, penguins need certain elements in their habitat to live.

    Penguins require specific habitats that they are fit for.  Penguins have unique characteristics which help them in their environment.  In conclusion, it is important that we protect penguins by not polluting the ocean with harmful chemicals or trash.
