Penguins When Jasmine Jean said “Our wings serve as flippers that carry us across the ocean; not in the sky! Why, us penguins have so much fun time in the water, we don't even want to fly,” she highlighted a specific characteristic that defined the word penguin. Penguins are seabirds which cannot fly on the air; they live in the Southern oceans. Another definition for penguins is non-domestic small animal that has feathers, beak, and modified wings. In “ The Adelie Penguin,” Ainley (2002) states
Penguins, Paraptenodytinae which are Stout-footed Penguins, and Palaeospheniscinae which are Slender-footed Penguins. All species are differentiated by their looks, characteristics and the way they live. Scientists might confirm a 19th species called Eudyptula Albosignat, also known as the white flippered form of a fairy
The family Spheniscidae is made up of penguins, which are flightless birds, confined almost entirely below the equator (Williams, Wilson, Boersma, Stokes, Davies, & Busby, 1995, pg. 3). Penguins belong to the Chordata order, which gets its name because the organisms have notochords. Notochords are a supporting structure much like a backbone. Another characteristic of the family is that they are filter feeders, which means they can pass water through their mouths and anterior end of the digestive

The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is a common meso-carnivore native to North America, Europe, Asia, and some parts of northern Africa. Being adaptable and plastic while having a generalist diet and habitat selection, the red fox is perfectly capable of surviving and reproducing in almost any environment. For the same reasons that it is widespread and pertinent in its native range, it can be extremely invasive and disruptive in areas that it is introduced to. It is especially invasive in the Oceania region
