What challenges do the penguins have to overcome?

The challenges that the penguins have to overcome is to stay a live without enough food. They also have to keep their egg warm and there are huge storms of cold air.

How does their habitat challenge their livelihood each day?

Their habitat challenges their livelihood everyday by them having to suffer hunger for months. Also they have to watch out for predators.

What type of adaptions do penguins need in order to survive brutal winters and predators?

The types of adaptions that the penguins need to get use to in order to survive is for them to not have food for a long time. Also they have to adapt the walking in the storms in order to be looking for food.

Why is the period of time in which there is practically no sunlight? How does this affect the climate?

There is no sunlight because they are in the Southern part of the planet. The planet is revolving and at some point the Northern is closer to the sun and the Southern is further. So there is no sunlight for a period of time.

How could climate change negatively impact the mating ritual of the Emperor Penguin?

If the climate change would occur in the poles the ice would melt and then the penguins could become extinct. The climate can get warmer and cause the ice to melt.

Game Review




What I learned about the genres and games that I was researching of is that every game has a unique style of creating. Each of the games has a different type of social issue that is focused on. Also the genre is different in each game because they focus it basically on the social issue that they are going to focus on. Every game has a unique creating. What I mean by this is that some of the games are more detailed.
When I would create my game I would like it to have the genre of puzzles or racing. This are the most genres that interested me the most. I would also like it to focus on endangered species. I would like to focus in this because this social issue interest me a lot and I want to learn more about them.
