Understand- Happy Habitat


The Adélie is one of two penguin species that breed only on the Antarctic continent. They generally stay within the waters of the Southern Ocean to the south of the Antarctic Convergence (the region where the great oceans—the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Indian oceans—meet in the cold waters of the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica). They are only spotted every now and then in the South Atlantic waters  that surround the Falkland Islands and in the waters of the South Pacific near New Zealand.  

The Penguins are a special type that need their tempreture to be icy cold. Climate Change will threaten these species, resulting in the creatures becoming extinct. The Adelie Penguins need the land to be flat and there needs to friction between them and the sheets of ice in order for them to survive.
