California Academy of Sciences: Science @ Home - Penguin Feeding

Feeling fishy? Our penguins sure are! Watch Academy biologists Steve and Emma feed our hungry colony and talk about the TLC they give these birds every day.

While you watch this video, think about the four questions below. Share your answers with a friend or family member or just think in your head.

    • What do the penguins eat?
  • Is this the same or different as what they would eat in South Africa?
  • Why do you think the animal caretakers keep track of how much each penguin eats? Do you keep track of what you eat?
  • Why do you think the penguins wear wing bands? Is there a difference between penguins with bands on their right or left wing?
