Penguin Report

Animal Reports

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

Here is my animal report about Penguins.

Introduction

Penguins are birds that can’t fly.

Appearance

Penguins have webbed feet. They keep warm with feathers that cover their body. Penguins have a black back & a white front and they are plump. They have wings but they can’t fly. Also penguins have heavy bones so that they can stay under water. Their webbed feet are designed for swimming.

Diet

Penguins eat fish, squid and krill. Penguins mostly feed at day time. The can go deep to catch their food. King penguins have a curved beak so they can catch large squid.

Habitat

Two species of penguins live in Antarctica. Most Penguins are found in the Southern Ocean. Many penguins visit Antarctica in summer.

Reproduction

Penguins crawl to land to mate and breed. The father and mother take turns at looking after the egg for 2 months. Penguins use their beaks to dig up borrows. Female penguins lay their eggs in winter. The male penguin huddles with the egg to keep warm. Some penguins lay their eggs in borrows. Penguins lay 1 or 2 eggs. Baby penguins peck their way out with their egg tooth.

Conclusion

Penguins are endangered and people are trying to help them stay alive.
