Do penguins eat people?

Don’t eat people.

Penguins feed on marine zooplankton, mainly Antarctic krill, and sometimes some brachiopods, squid and small fish. Penguins have good appetites. Each penguin can eat an average of 0.75 kilograms of food per day, mainly Antarctic krill. Therefore, penguins play an important role as predators in the Southern Ocean food chain.

Penguins and great auks are typical examples of convergent evolution. Penguins living in high latitudes in the southern hemisphere and great auks living in high latitudes in the northern hemisphere, faced with the same marine environment, invariably chose to give up flying and evolve into Streamlined body shape.

Waterproof feathers and similar protective colors, and in order to adapt to the cold climate, their bodies have become stronger and fatter. However, they are not related in any way. The close relatives of the great auk are various Most of the murres, puffins and puffins still retain the ability to fly.

Habitat environment

Penguins usually live south of the equator, and they can only be seen in inaccessible places. Some penguins live in cold places and some live in tropical places. But penguins actually don't like hot weather. They are only happy in cold climates. Therefore, in the icy ocean on the far coast of Antarctica, there are the largest number of penguins living there.

Penguin habitats vary by species and distribution area: Emperor penguins like to inhabit ice shelves and sea ice; Adélie penguins and gentoo penguins can both live on sea ice and on sea ice. They live on rock outcrops in ice-free areas; penguins in the Subantarctic mostly like to inhabit rocks in ice-free areas and often build their nests with rocks.
