Penguins
There are 16 different kinds of penguin. All live in the Southern hemisphere. Penguins cannot fly but they are expert swimmers and divers. They can speed along in the water after squid and fish using their flipper shaped wings. The Emperor Penguin has a bright orange beard around its neck. To escape the leopard seal it dives out of the water at a great speed. It breeds in the coldest placed on earth, on Antarctic ice where the temperature is -20 degrees C (-4 F) and after the female has laid an egg, the male keeps it warm between his feet and tummy for about 60 days. The new born chicks stay warm by standing on their parents feet.
Polar Bears
The huge Polar Bear is covered in thick water repelling fur, except for its foot pad and the tip of its nose. Polar bears have an excellent sense of smell for locating prey. They can bound across the ice at a great speed. An adult Polar Bear weighs about half a tonne, and is so strong that it can kill a person with one swipe of its paw.
Between 25,000 and 40,000 Polar Bears roam the Arctic. Their white coats provide perfect camouflage and a 10cm (4") layer of body fat keeps them warm. Bears gorge on seals from April to July, they can survive for eight months without food. They can swim as far as 150km (93 miles) in search of prey.
