- Penguins are different than other birds because they cannot fly; instead, they glide and soar underwater.
- Penguins eat fish, shrimp, and krill.

- Predator likely means an animal that hunts and eats other animals. Clue words: "Penguins need to watch out for several predators. Some animals that eat penguins are leopard seals, sea lions, and orcas (killer whales)."
- I would not like to have a penguin for a pet because they live near salt water, need to swim and glide underwater, and have special needs like a gland to remove salt from their bodies, which would be hard to provide in a home.
