Animal Report

I have been learning how to write an animal report using the correct language and structure.

Here is my report about Penguins.

Penguins

Penguins are like birds but don't fly because their wings are small.

Appearance

Penguins have a black  back with a white front. Babies have a grey body with a black face. Penguins have short orangey, yellow feet and babies have black feet.  Their bodies are covered in feathers. Also penguins are quite fat.

Diet

Penguins like fish and they like squid, mostly squid. They don't have to swim deep for fish but they have to swim deep for squid. When they catch a fish or a squid they eat it and the come back to the surface and give it back to its baby.

Habitat

Penguins live in Antarctica and are found in the Southern Ocean.

Reproduction

Penguins lay eggs in feathers. They come to land to mate and lay eggs in winter. Some penguins makes nests using rocks. They lay 1 or 2 eggs and they take turns to keep it warm. The babies crack out of their eggs with a egg tooth.  

Penguins are under threat because of global warming.
