2. Mental Image of a Gentoo Penguin
Swish ! Swish is the sound of my brush as I paint for you
a metal image of a Gentoo Penguin. Lets start with those
funny looking feet . So I always thought that a penguin
walked like a duck. It’s because they both have webbed
feet. Watch him swim and know he is a powerful and
graceful swimmer, because of there powerful wings. So
the wings also help them steer through the water to catch
krill, squid and smaller fish. He uses his so range-red bill to
catch those fish. It’s funny that this fat bird can move so
fast through the water because it looks like a black and
white torpedo. They are also a vertebrate. Now do you
have a mental image.
3. Here I am with my Gentoo Penguin
Habitat
• Rocky
• Antarctica
• Near krill
• Very close to the leopard seal
4. Food Chain
Algae is eaten by krill . Krill is eaten by Squid.
A Squid is eaten by a Gentoo Penguin. A
Gentoo penguin is eaten by leopard seal. A
leoperd is eaten by a killer whale.
5. A chick is bigger than there mother when
eating
Chicks are bigger than
there parents when
feeding
It takes 34-36 days until the egg hatches and the parents
stay with them for 35 days and then they are free.

7. Save the Artic
Swish and smack as people litter the streets and
waters . Please don’t do this it’s hurting life cycle,
animal habitats and Antarctica by throwing trash
in the water . Pollution is melting the artic ice and
killing baby’s and adults and we need to save them
because it’s God’s creation. Please do not pollute
or litter.
