| There are seventeen (17) different kinds
of penguins. Only four kinds live in Antarctica: they are the Emperor,
Adelie,
Chinstrap,
and Gentoo
penguins.
The largest of the penguins is the Emperor penguin. He can be up to 4 feet tall. He lives in Antarctica. The Emperor is the one we see pictures of most of the time. The smallest is the Blue penguin - he lives in Australia and New Zealand. He is only about 10 inches tall! He has a special enemy - the stoat, a land animal like a weasel. Can you guess how these penguins get their names? Rockhopper, Yellow-eyed Penguin, Macaroni Penguin, Galapagos Penguin, Blackfooted African Penguin ?
