March of the penguins

What challenges do the penguins have to overcome?


The challenges that they face is that they have to walk all the way to a specific place to have there baby's and some of the old penguins don't make it.Then they have to have the baby and transfer the egg to the daddy penguin.If they rush they could  drop the egg and the baby will die.Then the mother's leave to go get food and the dads don't get to eat for four month's.when the mother returns she gets to see her baby for the first time. then the dad takes off to eat.after he leaves the mother eventually teaches her baby to walk. Then the dad comes back and they have to watch out for predators because winter is almost over.   


How does their habitat challenge their livelihood each day?


It changes their livelihood because they could die because of how cold it is {basically separation makes them freeze}.

What types of adaptations do penguins need in order to survive brutal winters as well as predators?

what they need is blubber[so they can keep warm]and they also need feet that can survive the cold,and last but not least they need each other so they do not get eaten by predators.
 
Why is there a period of time in which there is practically no sunlight? What affect can no sunlight have on this region of Antarctica? 


The reason there is no sunlight is because it's winter.The ice would not melt if their was no sunlight.


If the climate had a negatively impact on the penguins it could make them not wanna mate.
