Penguins Research Paper
Penguins are awesome birds. Even though they cannot fly, they can swim, dive up to 1,000 feet, shuffle on land, and slide on their bellies. Most penguin species lay two eggs at a time, except king and emperor penguins lay one egg at a time. Chicks are raised on land and food is caught in the water. Parents chew the food and then throw it up to feed their chicks. The emperor penguin will eat up to 31 pounds of food for a meal. (That is about 900 chicken nuggets!) Penguins eat fish and other sealife. We should keep the oceans clean so then the penguins have food.
Almost all of the penguins in the world live in the southern hemisphere. The emperor penguin and the Adelie penguin live in Antarctica. Other penguins live around New Zealand and Australia,

    When The Fabulous Freebirds first came to the ring with rock and roll blasting, it was revolutionary. When Vince McMahon got Cindy Lauper and MTV to cross-promote their programming it was groundbreaking. For every hit moment like those in rock and wrestling, there are plenty of flops. The Simon Cowell produced "Slam Jam" can barely be considered music and still somehow managed to hit the UK charts. Looking back, "Rap is Crap" made the otherwise lovable Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig look like an out-of-touch, redneck tool. At WrestleMania XIX, Limp Bizkit got Roman Reigns level boos from the crowd who were generally sick of their repetitive, whiny nu metal.
