EMPEROR PENGUINS

Description: The Emperor Penguin is the world's largest and tallest penguin. It is also the heaviest penguin, with some individuals recorded at nearly 100 pounds. Adults have a black head, back, tail, and black wings. The underparts are dingy white. The sides of the neck are marked with a large golden or yellow stripe. In addition, there is a varying amount of gold on the upper breast. Like most penguins, the Emperor Penguin has thick, waterproof feathers that cover the entire body except for the bill and feet. Emperor Penguins normally live about 20 years in the wild, though some individuals have been recorded at 40 years of age.

Diet: Crustaceans, krill, and small fish. Emperor Penguins will dive to depths of 800 feet in search of food. Most dives last 3-6 minutes.

Predators: Sharks, Leopard Seals, Orcas. Chicks are vulnerable to predation from South Polar Skuas.

Range: The Emperor Penguin is found throughout the Antarctic perimeter. It is the only species of penguin to breed during the Antarctic winter. Breeding takes place about 60 miles from the coast in the Antarctic interior, where temperatures regularly drop to -40 degrees Celsius. The trek from the Antarctic coastline to the breeding grounds was the inspiration for "March of the Penguins".

Nesting: Female Emperor Penguins lay a single egg in May or June. After the egg has been laid, the female must immediately feed in the ocean. First, the egg is carefully transported to the male, who incubates the egg under a brood patch that rests above the feet. Occasionally, the transfer is unsuccessful and the egg rolls onto the ice and instantaneously freezes.

The male will incubate the egg for up to 65 days! During this time, he will not eat a single meal. In particularly cold days, hundreds of male penguins may gather together in a compact huddle to warm themselves in the pounding Antarctic winds. In about two months, the female returns and locates her mate and chick by sound. She regurgitates food stored in her stomach to feed the growing chick. The male then takes his turn feeding in the ocean and returns after about a month, at which point both parents tend to the chick by regurgitating food and keeping it off the ice. Once the chick is about seven weeks old, it joins other chicks in a creche (huddle) to keep

warm.

Status: Populations of Emperor Penguins are thought to be stable. Estimates indicate about

200,000 breeding pairs.

Dolphins are marine mammals that are related to whales and porpoises. A marine mammal is one that lives in the water. Dolphins are found all over the world’s oceans as well as in rivers and marshes. Dolphins are carnivores (meat-eaters) and feed on fish, squid and other marine life They often swim together in groups called “pods.” They are thought to have powerful eyesight and hearing, but do not have a sense ofsmell.

Dolphins come in different sizes. Some are smaller than the average person, but others, such as the Orca, can be 30 feet long, or more than five times as long as the average person.

Dolphins are thought to be very intelligent and communicate with each other using clicks and whistles. All dolphins are powerful swimmers. Have you ever seen a dolphin? Groups of dolphins can often be seen bobbing in and out of waves close to the shoreline.

LA ESCUELA.....LOS 12 ERRORES DE LOS PADRES

11. Solventarles los problemas Otro comportamiento habitual y erróneo de los padres, según los educadores, es solventar los problemas de organización de sus hijos. "A las siete de la tarde el niño dice que falta tinta para imprimir el trabajo que ha de entregar al día siguiente y mandamos al abuelo que vaya corriendo a comprar un cartucho o que nos deje el suyo", ejemplifica Montenegro. Y enfatiza la importancia de dejar que los hijos afronten esos problemas solos "aunque eso suponga entregar un trabajo tarde y que le bajen la nota, porque si de mayor entrega tarde la declaración de la renta le aplicarán un recargo, por mucho que diga que el banco se retrasó en enviarle el extracto de sus cuentas; así es la vida, y han de aprender a organizarse y solucionar sus problemas desde pequeños".

Los educadores también rechazan la conducta permisiva de algunos padres que justifican los fracasos o errores de los hijos ante el maestro y la escuela alegando siempre una causa exterior o bien cuestionando la dificultad de la tarea o la idoneidad de los libros, de la materia o del propio profesor.

12. Vincular las tareas a castigos "Castigado a hacer los deberes" o "hasta que no acabes de leer no podrás ver la televisión" son frases habituales en muchas casas pero que, según los educadores, deberían erradicarse. En primer lugar, explican, porque el tiempo de realizar las tareas escolares debería ser un tiempo de tranquilidad y sosiego para trabajar, no de regañinas. En segundo lugar, porque el objetivo debe ser educar a los niños en el placer de la lectura o del estudio y no convertir esas actividades en un castigo. Y, por último, porque tampoco interesa que consideren la lectura o los deberes un peaje necesario para ver la televisión, jugar a la consola o salir con los amigos.
