Penguins are small aquatic based birds that live in the arctic. They hunt their prey in the water and they eat krill, fish, and squid. They do not see humans as a threat because we do not seem dangerous to them. In fact, we are very dangerous to them. The biggest problem with penguins right now is the oil spills that humans keep causing. The oil in the water harms penguins by coating their skin and getting in their eyes. Commercial overfishing also contributes to the extinction of penguins by downsizing the amount of food available to them. Penguins have natural predators too, but none of those are threatening the penguins existance quite like the humans are.
Peguins are soo cute! I feel so terrible that it's our fault that cute peguins are in danger because of oil! we can so prevent that but we chose not too because we are so used to it. Humans need to stop being so selfish and i only wish i could somehow make a difference.
