These birds are quite unique; they wear a tuxedo-like coat of black and white feathers, and they can't fly like most other birds. Penguins have a stout body with short, sturdy legs, and they use their strong flippers for swimming. Their beaks are long and pointed, ready to catch their favorite seafood treats!  \nDid you know that penguins have a special menu for every meal? That's right, their diet mainly consists of krill, squid, and small fish that they catch under the water. To find their food, they can dive up to 1,850 feet deep and stay underwater for more than 20 minutes. That's like diving down six soccer fields deep and holding your breath for an entire episode of your favorite cartoon!  \nNow, let's waddle over to where these cool creatures call home. Most penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere, with a lot of them in Antarctica, but you can also find them in places like South Africa, Australia, and South America. To protect themselves from cold weather and predators, they huddle together in large colonies, which can include thousands of penguins! They have a fascinating life cycle that starts with a penguin egg, then a cute chick, and finally a mature penguin.  \nPenguins are not just interesting to us humans, but they also play important roles in their ecosystems. Their eating habits help keep the ocean's food chain balanced, and their droppings, called guano, provide nutrients for the soil. Though they have predators like seals and sharks, penguins can defend themselves with their strong beaks and swift swimming. So let's give a flipper salute to these fantastic birds who show us that being different is truly something special!  \nSolve each problem.  \nUse the article to answer the question.  \n1) What is one way penguins differ from other birds?  \nA.
