Antarctic Whales





Whales are mammals they are not fish.They are found in oceans all around the world, they are the largest animals in the world.



Whales travel in pods around the world. The male Whales are called bulls, And the females, name is cow and the baby is called calves.

Whales have enormous mouths. They Have a thick layer of fat under their skin called blubber, to keep them warm in the freezing water.


Some Whales are toothed whales. There are two types of Whales called peg toothed whales and baleen Whales that have no teeth.

ANTARCTIC penguins


W.A.L.T
SUMMARISE THE MAIN POINT OF A TEXT,IN MY OWN WORDS.

Penguins are birds and they don’t live in the north.They live in the southern oceans around antarctica.

Penguins take waddling steps and they can’t fly.When they come ashore they stand up right.

In winter the sun doesn't rise all the way to summer.The temperature is
below freezing there are gales all thru winter.



In antarctica some penguins can survive in winter.Male Emperor penguins can stand on the freezing pack ice all thru  winter in antarctica.  


Penguins have blubber to keep them out of the cold.They have a thick layer of blubber under their skin.

Seals



WALT - We are learning to summarise the main point of a paragraph.


Seals are mammals that live in oceans all over the world.all of the Seals at antarctica are non-eared seals.these seals have lots of blubber to keep them warm.

Seals have thick, short hair on their streamlined body,to keep them warm.They have flippers to help them be superb swimmers.   

Seals are so clumsy on land but are super fast in Antarctica sea they swim in the sea all the time.When they give birth to their pups they haul out of the sea.They are graceful in sea when they swim.


Crabeater seals are the most common seals in antarctica there are thirty million of them living there.The one thing that is so weird about them is they do not eat  
crab they eat krill.

Leopard Seals hunt for penguins under water  because they are slow on ice cause they don't have legs.Penguin are not afraid on ice cause leopard seals are slow because penguins have legs that make them move fast.


Weddell Seals are so cool because in the middle of the winter every other animal swims away to a warmer part of the world.But the weddell seals stay for the whole winter and when the water is frozen
