Adelie Penguin Adaptations
Although birds, they can not fly. Living near a continent that is 98% covered with ice, they must find bare land with small rocks to build a nest and raise their young. Adelie Penguins flourish in a harsh environment.


Like all other plants and animals, these remarkable creatures have evolved with many adaptations which make them masters of their environment.
