It’s body looks like a rectangle. They are little animals. I think they are about the same size as a head.

They are white and black. They have an orange beak.

What Do They Eat?
They eat fish, squid, and shrimp.

Where/How Do They Live?
They live where it is very cold. Mostly, they live in the water. Sometimes they come onto the ice or onto land. They like rocks on the land.

How Do They Move?
They swim in the water. They walk on ice with their two feet. They have two flippers and a tail. They are good swimmers.

Can They Do/Have Anything Special?
They have lots of feathers on their body, and fat under their feathers. The fat part keeps them warm in the cold. The babies have feathers that fall out and then new ones grow. They can swim under the water. They can swim faster than a bike. The babies come from eggs.
