| Can you think of a bird that can't fly but is a very good swimmer?The emperor penguin is one! Since last week,six emperor penguins have been on show at the Beijing Pacific Underwater World (太平洋海底世界,BPUW)."I had only seen penguins in my geography textbook," said 13-year-old Yu Yaxin,when she was watching the birds in the aquarium."Emperor penguins are much bigger and taller than I had thought.They're up to my shoulders!" One month ago these penguins came to China from the Antarctic. At BPUW,emperor penguins have their own room with a swimming pool!A big air-conditioner helps to keep the room as cold as minus four degrees Celsius. "They're starting to enjoy their new life now," said Shi Xiaomin,head of the BPUW."They no longer hide in the corner when people try to get close to them." Shi told TEENS that all six were quite lazy.They spend the whole day eating and sleeping.They sleep for more than ten hours a day! They're not always as nice as they seem.When they get angry,they make loud noises and move their bodies from side to side.They also hit very fast with their hard flippers (鳍状肢). There are 17 kinds of penguin and the emperor penguin is the largest and also most beautiful of all.Its colourful feathers and lively spirit (气度) made people call it the "emperor" of penguins. Emperor penguins can swim as fast as 30 kilometres per hour.That's faster than large ships! In the wild,emperor penguins spend half their time on the cold Antarctic (南极的) ice and the other half in the water.They're the only birds that give birth during the cold winters in Antarctica.There are now about 570,000 emperor penguins in the Antarctic. |
