Why Choose This Course?
In this short course, we will start to discuss the wonderful world of penguins. Penguins are some of the most well-known birds in the Southern Ocean. These flightless birds are experts at swimming and diving, with their streamlined bodies and flippers that allow them to navigate the water with ease.
They also have thick layers of feathers and blubber to insulate them from the cold, making them well-equipped for life in the harsh environment of the ocean. The largest penguin colony on Earth is estimated to be around 2,000,000. How amazing!!
There are several species of penguins that live in Antarctica, including the Adelie, Chinstrap, Emperor, Gentoo, King, Macaroni, and Rockhopper and this week we are going to meet a few of them!
