Can you name an animal that has evolved to fly underwater?

If you guessed the penguin, then you would be correct!

Penguins are actually some of the most loyal creatures on the planet.

Penguins are always wearing a tuxedo, due to their colors that actually help them camouflage into their surroundings.

Penguins love to eat other animals, such as krill, squid, and a variety of fishes. 

You can find penguins on the Antarctic coast’s sub-Antarctic islands.  

There are 18 species of penguins!  10 of these species are endangered due to krill, one of penguins main food and a major role in the Antarctic food chain numbers declining majorly since the 1970’s.  Penguins also face endangerment due to global warming, where the ice they heavily rely on is melting.

Overall, penguins are amazing creatures and we should take a stand against global warming to help them!

Do you know an underwater mammal that is one of the most intelligent animals in the world?

If you guessed the dolphin, then you would be correct!

Dolphins are highly intelligent animals, and are also very friendly to humans. 

Dolphins are very chatty animals, and love fishes and squids.  

You can find dolphins in oceans all over the world, due to so many species. There are actually 36 species of dolphins!

Despite the amazing creature, some species of dolphins are actually endangered due to humans.  Illegal hunting, simply dolphins getting trapped in fishing nets, and marine pollution all play a major role in some species of dolphins being endangered!

Dolphins are amazing creatures who are not only intelligent, but friendly too, so we should all do our part and help protect them!
