We skyped with African penguins from the California Academy of Science. We learned that the penguins have sharp tongues - we seen it! It is sharp so that can eat fish and krill. Not all penguins live in cold weather, the African penguins live near the beach. We learned that a penguin can see through its eye lid so that they can see underwater. They also have 2 kinds of feathers. One type keeps the penguin warm, the outer feathers keep the water off of them. Those feathers have oil on them. At the Academy of Science, they have a baby penguin pool so the babies can practice their swimming. These penguins can live for 30 years but in the wild, they only live for about 15 years!
Thanks to Jacque from the Academy of Science for hosting! It was a great skype.
