Question

HELP!!! How does the Galápagos penguin compare to the cold adapted emperor penguin of Antarctica?

Answer 1

Comparison between Galapagos penguin and cold adapted Emperor penguin of Antarctica:

Galapagos penguin:

• Galapagos penguins are the only species of penguins that live north of the Equator.

• The Galapagos penguins breed all-round the year.

• The Galapagos penguins are smaller compared to the cold-adapted emperor penguins of Antarctica.

• The breeding and nesting place of the Galapagos penguins lie on the shoreline.

Emperor penguin:

• The emperor penguins live and adapt to the cold Antarctic environment.

• The Emperor penguins breed only during the Antarctic winters.  

• The nesting of emperor penguins is on ice cliffs and icebergs where the eggs are protected from the strong and cold Antarctic winds.

• However, both of these species of penguins are at risk of extinction due to the rise in temperature and shortage of foods.
