Penguins and Mangroves!

Science By Elyssa

• A penguin has a very cold environment. They live in the Antarctica an extremely cold environment. They adapt to this cold weather by huddling together. By huddling together they cut heat loss by half. Every penguin gets a chance to keep warm by going in the middle.

How do penguins adapt to their environment

• There roots help them to adapt to their environment. Their roots poke out of the ground so when water comes by twice a day they can still breath. Most trees roots are in the ground. When to much water comes by the plant will die. Mangrove trees like the sun and like getting air. They adapt well because they live in wet ground most of the time.

How does a mangrove adapt to its environment

How does a penguin physically change

• A penguin can not change physically because it is the same penguin but when it gets warmer they don’t usually huddle together they don't physically change like a chameleon they just change.

• Mangroves are a plant so they stay the way they are. But they can physically change by collecting salt in there leaves when to much water comes in. there roots protect there leaves.

How do Mangroves physically change?

• Penguins don’t go into hibernation because they are always in the cold why should they need to hibernate. When it is warmer it might be different but they do not go into hibernation.

Do penguins go into hibernation?

• Mangroves are a plant or a tree they cant move. They cant go into hibernation like animals. But they do die. They turn different colours.

Do mangroves go Into hibernation?

• Some species of penguin e.g. African return to their regions on land more or less every night throughout the year. Others simply arrive at their homes at the beginning of the breeding season and leave after they have molted at the end of the season.

Do penguins migrate?

• Mangrove trees don’t move but they do drop little seeds in the water or on the ground and those seeds travel somewhere else and grow a new mangrove tree and maybe hole bunch of them.

Structural features of a penguin

• Penguins are flightless birds.• While other birds have wings for flying, penguins have adapted flippers to

help them swim in the water.• Most penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere.• The Galapagos Penguin is the only penguin specie that ventures north of

the equator in the wild.• Large penguin populations can be found in countries such as New Zealand,

Australia, Chile, Argentina and South Africa.• No penguins live at the North Pole.• Penguins eat a range of fish and other sea life that they catch underwater.• Penguins can drink sea water.• Penguins spend around half their time in water and the other half on land.• The Emperor Penguin is the tallest of all penguin species, reaching as tall as

120 cm (47 in) in height.• Emperor Penguins can stay underwater for around 20 minutes at a time.• Emperor Penguins often huddle together to keep warm in the cold

temperatures of Antarctica.

Penguin Facts

• Mangroves are tropical plants that are adapted to loose, wet soils, salt water, and being periodically submerged by tides

• Four major factors appear to limit the distribution of mangroves: climate, salt water, tidal fluctuation and soil type

• Mangroves trap and cycle various organic materials, chemical elements, and important nutrients in the coastal ecosystem

• Mangroves provide one of the basic food chain resources for marine organisms

• Mangroves serve as roosting and nesting sites for many of our birds

• Mangroves serve as storm buffers by reducing wind and wave action in shallow shoreline areas

Mangrove facts

• These are 16 penguins that are still living today:• Adelie• African• Chinstrap• Emperor• Erect-crested• Fiord land• Galapagos• Gentoo• Humboldt• King• Little• Macaroni• Magellanic• Rock hopper• Snares• Yellow-eyed

Different sorts of penguins!

• These are some of the common mangroves:• Yellow mangrove• Grey mangrove• Milky mangrove• Red mangrove• Orange mangrove• River mangrove
