Penguins Comprehension- Homework

Penguins are a group of aquatic, flightless birds living mostly in Antarctica. Penguins have dark and white feathers.They have flippers for movement in the water. Most penguins feed on fish, squid and other forms of sea life caught while swimming underwater. They spend half of their life on land and half in the oceans.

Emperor penguins are the largest living species and the blue or fairy penguins are the smallest species. Most of the penguin species live in large colonies. Penguins are not afraid of human beings. This is probably because penguins have no land enemy in Antarctica. Instead, they are at risk in the sea from sharks or leopard seals. In 1986, Silvio Mazzola created a famous penguin cartoon character named ‘Pingu’.

However, I gained a little courage and went with much dread to make sure that the footprint was not mine. I measured my foot against it. Mine was not nearly so large. A stranger, maybe a savage, must have been on shore, and fear again filled my heart. I determined now to make my house more secure than ever. I built another wall around it, in which I fixed six guns, so that, if need be, I could fire six in two minutes. Then I planted young trees all around.
