Favorite Animal
*
My favorite animal is a penguin. I actually have no specific reason for why they are my favorite, other than I find them super cute and adorable. The pictures I posted are pictures from one of my visits to the Georgia Aquarium. There are many different species of penguins that live in places such as Southern Africa, New Zealand, and Antarctica. Penguins usually feed on krill, fish, and shrimp. Although penguins have wings, they are not able to fly; they instead use their wings to swim. Penguins have such thick layers of blubber that as soon as they stop using their wings while swimming, they shoot straight up to the surface. The tuxedo pattern is used as a defense mechanism. If animals are above penguins in the water, the top of their feathers blend in with the dark bottom of the ocean; if animals are below the penguins, the white of their bellies blend in with the light from the surface. Also, shiny objects distract penguins very easily. At the Aquarium if you want a penguin to swim towards the glass all you have to do is place your keys against the glass and they’ll swim towards you.
