25 interesting tips about penguins

Antarctic penguins are the most elegant animals in the world.

They are birds, but they can't fly. They often walk in the ice and snow at MINUS 60 degrees with the steps of gentlemen. Penguins are egg-laying animals, and male penguins only lay one egg at a time.

But the six-week incubation mission is undertaken by male penguins. Its abdomen is like an incubator at 34℃, so don't worry that penguin eggs will freeze here.

In the meantime, the penguin father must endure hunger. For the sake of his baby, he can't jump into the sea to catch fish to satisfy his hunger. All his energy comes from the fat stored in his body. Who can not say that he is the greatest "father" in the world? So what did mother penguin do at this time? She went to store the baby's food

She swam in the warmer, fishy sea and swallowed a lot of fish, forming a thick layer of fat in her body. Before the chicks hatch, the mother will rush back to the baby with a sense of time.

Mother's stomach stores a lot of semi-digested fish to prepare food for penguin babies. There are about 2.5 million penguins in the world, 18 species.

These animals are very much like humans. They are monogamous, and they will be together for life and be loyal forever. The way of communication between them is through sound, such as croaking for happiness, * * * for chatting after dinner, and shrill voice for warning.

Adult penguins are generally 1.2 meters tall and weigh 30 kilograms. In order to resist the cold, a penguin eats 60 kilograms of fish every day. Little penguins can swim in the sea at the age of one, and their life span is usually 7- 15 years.

Penguins are the best divers in Antarctica. Although they walk to swing, in the water, their feet are "engines" and they can dive 500 meters at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour.

Because they have two airbags, the diving time can be as long as 20 minutes. Their feathers are hard and smooth, just like diving suits

Penguins mainly live in Antarctica. If a cold current strikes, they will curl up tightly together and look like a black carpet from a distance. It is because of this collective spirit that they are considered very intelligent animals.

Penguins who are not afraid of cold can stop breathing in the cold water around the Antarctic continent. In the underwater stop for a minute, sometimes the diving depth can even reach 500 meters. They can dive like this hundreds of times a day without any damage to their bodies. Penguins have amazing ability to regulate metabolism.

Only the essential parts of the whole body are working, and the metabolism of other parts is smooth. Scientists put sensors on 10 species of penguins living in the waters between Antarctica and Africa, and they got some very surprising data.

The normal temperature of a penguin is 38℃. After diving, the abdominal temperature dropped to 1 1℃, while the stomach temperature remained above 30℃. The fish a penguin eats is very cold (only 4-5℃), which causes its body temperature to drop, while its stomach temperature remains unchanged. So far, people can't give a satisfactory explanation for this.

The researcher in charge of this work explained: "There is another solution to this mystery: conditioned reflex hypothermia related to diving. Penguin's body tissue seems to make perfect use of its energy. It uses blood to coordinate all parts of body activities: brain, heart, muscles that generate thrust, etc. At the same time, the activities of other organizations are very mild, so these organizations generate less energy and the temperature is naturally lower. "

The researcher went on to say, "This phenomenon is well known. For example, this phenomenon can also be observed in early hibernating otters.

But contrary to this sleepy mammal, penguins are very active. After each dive, it will return to the surface to rest for a minute, and then dive underwater to fish.

It repeats this action 10 hour and can do it hundreds of times a day. Penguins are indigenous to the Antarctic, and people call them the symbol of the Antarctic, and they deserve it.

First, due to the large number, high density and wide distribution of penguins, it has been found that there are about 654.38 billion penguins in the Antarctic region, accounting for 654.38+0/654.38+00 of the total number of seabirds in the world, which are distributed on the coast of the Antarctic continent and the islands in the sub-Antarctic region. When people landed in Antarctica, the first thing they noticed was the penguins all over the mountains. Penguins bring vitality to the cold and lonely world of ice and snow in Antarctica.

Second, because the penguin looks cute, especially its dignified, polite and gentlemanly demeanor, it left a deep impression on people. Thirdly, because penguins have been in Antarctica for generations, they have exercised and created a hard work to adapt to the harsh environment in Antarctica-the special physiological function of low temperature tolerance.

Fourthly, because of the unique living habits of penguins, such as male penguins hatching eggs, young penguins kindergartens, etc., it has long been passed down as anecdotes. Fifth, because penguins are a symbol of cold, people think of Antarctica, the coldest pole in the world, when they see penguins.

No wonder the products in the world cold drink industry often use penguins as trademarks. In midsummer, seeing penguins will give people a cool feeling. It is the mysterious world of Antarctica that gave birth to such a strange "resident".

Antarctic penguins, like polar bears, have become well-known representative animals. Where is the hometown of Antarctic penguins? Can the ancestors of penguins fly? What is the evolution of penguins? The origin of penguins is a subject that biologists are discussing and studying, and it is still a mystery.

However, there is a saying that penguins in Antarctica originated from a flying animal during the disintegration of Gondwana. About 200 million years ago, Gondwana began to split and disintegrate, and the Antarctic continent separated and began to drift south.

At this time, it happened that a group of flying animals flew over the ocean. They found the drifting Antarctic continent, so they circled around it and watched, and finally they decided to land on this land. At first, they lived a very happy life there, with no worries about food and clothing.

However, the good times did not last long. As the mainland moves south, the weather becomes colder and colder. They want to fly, but there is nowhere to fly. Surrounded by vast fields of ice and snow, they have no choice but to stay in this land. Soon the Antarctic continent reached the polar region, and after a long time, it was finally covered with thick ice and snow. It turned out that a large number of lush creatures died, and only the ancestor of penguins, a flying animal, survived.

However, they have completely changed, from flying to not flying, from wide fluffy feathers to fine needles.

2. Knowledge about penguins

Penguin (scientific name: Spheniscidae): Penguin, known as the "boat of the sea", is one of the oldest swimming birds. They probably settled in Antarctica before the earth put on ice armor. There are 18 species of penguins in the world, most of which are distributed in the southern hemisphere. Mainly living in the southern hemisphere, it belongs to Penguin, Penguinidae. Characterized by inability to fly; Feet are born in the lowest part of the body, so they are upright; There is webbed toes; Foot flexibility (other birds land on their toes); Forelimbs have fins; Feathers are short to reduce friction and turbulence; There is a layer of air between the feathers to keep warm. The back is black and the abdomen is white. The main differences between species are head color and individual size.

Penguins can survive and reproduce in the cold of MINUS 60 degrees. On land, it is like a western gentleman in a tuxedo, staggering, stumbling and flustered when in danger. But in the water, the penguin's short wings become a pair of powerful "paddles", and the swimming speed can reach 25-30 kilometers per hour. You can swim 160 km in one day. Mainly feed on krill, squid and small fish.

Penguin * * * has 18 independent species, and the largest species is emperor penguin, with an average height of about 1. 1 m and a weight of over 35 kg. The smallest penguin species is Little Blue Penguin (also known as Fairy Penguin), which is 40cm high and weighs 1kg. It has its own unique structure. Penguin feathers are three to four times as dense as birds of the same size. The function of these feathers is to regulate body temperature. Although penguins have basically the same feet as other birds, their bones are hard and their feet are short and flat. This feature, like the short wings of two paddles, enables penguins to "fly" underwater. Although the Antarctic is extremely cold, penguins' feathers have become overlapping scales after tens of millions of years of snow storms. This special down jacket is not only difficult to soak in seawater, but also the temperature is close to MINUS 100 degrees Celsius, so it cannot break through its thermal insulation defense line. Antarctica is rich in land and vast in sea surface, and rich marine plankton has become a rich food source for penguins.

Penguin is one of the oldest swimming birds. It may have settled in Antarctica before it put on its ice armor. Antarctica has a large land area and a wide sea surface, and rich floating salt glands can excrete excess salt. Penguins have flat corneas, so they can see under water and above water. Both eyes can transmit images to the brain for telescopic integration, thus producing telescopic effect. Penguin is a kind of bird, so penguin has no teeth. Penguins have barbs on their tongues and maxilla to adapt to swallowing fish and shrimp, but these are not their teeth.

6. Knowledge about fairy penguins

Fairy penguins, commonly known as "little penguins", are named after their light bodies. It is a famous penguin and lives in a port city in southern Australia. It is light and smart, funny and lovely, and is very popular with people. Fairy penguins are highly disciplined and often queue up for progress. Its most famous place is that it has its own "biological clock", which can tell the time.

What's going on here? It turned out that in a city in southern Australia, a sign stood on the beach, which read "Penguins landed at 8: 05 pm on time". People didn't believe it at first. How do penguins know the time? But strangely, penguins always land at 8: 05 every day. The penguin landed in a funny way: first, a "leader" swaggered in the stormy waves, and then the "pioneer" landed smoothly. The troops at the back kept landing, which seemed so orderly. They are in rows of three, five and one, very neat. It takes about 40 minutes to land, and the scene is spectacular. People on the sidelines sometimes burst into laughter and sometimes danced excitedly.

Fairy penguins have low reproductive ability, only laying 2~3 eggs at a time, and high survival rate. Although there are many fairy penguins, and they are not rare animals, the number of fairy penguins is likely to decline, so we still have to protect them, so that their cuteness will always exist and accompany us forever. Let's work hard!
