Penguins Migrate
Penguin Awareness Day is today! Penguins are flightless birds that spend half their time on land and half their time in oceans. Scientists believe about 17 to 20 species of penguins exist today. Only the Galapagos penguin lives north of the equator. Penguins consume fish, krill, and other sea organisms as they travel through the water. Interesting fact: a group of penguins on land is a waddle; a group of penguins in water is a raft. Idea: Children could read Mr. Popper’s Penguins by Florence Atwater and Richard Atwater. They could also find out why most penguins are white and black.
