    MISSING EMPEROR PENGUIN


    Have you seen this penguin?
    Last seen: Shuffling onto a ship that was
    carrying a cargo of fish. When the ship arrived
    in the port, all the fish had been eaten and
    there was no sign of the emperor penguin.
    Appearance: Stands 1 metre tall and weighs
    35 kilograms. The emperor penguin has short,
    thick, stiff, black-and-white feathers. Black
    feathers cover his back, flippers and head.
    He looks as if he is wearing a black dinner
    jacket and top hat! He also has short, stubby legs with strong,
    wide, webbed feet. A layer of blubber under his skin makes him
    chubby. He needs this fat to keep warm, as temperatures can be
    as cold as –60°C (76°F) where he lives.

    1 What do emperor penguins eat?

    1
    2 a) Find and copy a word on this page that describes how
    penguins move.

    1
    b) Why do you think the author chose to use this word instead
    of the word ‘walking’?

    1
    3 In what way does the emperor penguin look ‘as if he is wearing
    a black dinner jacket and top hat’?

    Getting about: Waddles along on his broad feet. Sometimes,


    he likes to slither and slide on his sleek tummy to speed up.
    He uses his flippers and feet to thrust forward, skimming over
    snow and ice like a sledge.

    Special skills: The emperor


    penguin is a magnificent
    swimmer. His streamlined
    body allows him to glide
    through the water smoothly
    and quickly, and he steers
    using his paddle-like flippers
    and rudder-like tail. He can
    leap in and out of the water.
    This amazing talent is known
    as porpoising. He hunts
    for food in the sea and feeds on fish, squid and krill. He can
    dive 565 metres (1,850 feet) under the sea. That’s deeper than
    any other bird! He can stay under the water for an incredible
    twenty minutes.

    Likes: Huddling together in a group with other emperor


    penguins to keep warm. It’s toasty and snug in the middle
    of the group but chilly for penguins standing on the outside
    of the bunch. Because of this, the penguins take turns
    standing in the middle.

    If found: Please return to the Antarctic, immediately.
