Are penguins mammals? Not viviparous mammals (they are oviparous birds).

The clumsy and lovely penguin is a very pleasing animal, and all kinds of penguin dolls will never go out of date. Many people are curious: Are penguins mammals? Penguin is one of the oldest swimming birds. They are the only birds that can swim but can't fly. They are egg-laying animals. Generally speaking, mammals are viviparous, so egg-laying penguins are not mammals.

Penguins are not mammals living in Antarctica. They are very strange animals. When they are on land, they look like gentlemen in evening dresses and walk unsteadily. Penguins are familiar to many people, so do you know that penguins are mammals? Penguins are not mammals, because penguins belong to birds and are oviparous, while mammals are usually viviparous.

The reproductive cycle of penguins is influenced by species and geography. The same penguin lives in different dimensions, and its reproductive cycle will be slightly different. Generally speaking, most penguins breed/kloc-0 times a year, spotted ring penguins and little blue penguins breed twice a year, while emperor penguins breed twice a year. King penguins, like emperor penguins, only lay 1 egg at a time, while penguins of other species lay 2 eggs at a time and occasionally 3 eggs.

After laying eggs, female penguins often wander to the ocean for food, and each time they come back to replace male penguins for about 10~20 days, and then they will be replaced once a week or two. After the chicks hatch, they live with their parents for a while, and then when they are half mature, they will be taken care of by a large group of adults, just like on the beach. Nursery? Just so-so

There are about 18 species of penguins in the world, most of which live in the southern hemisphere. Although they are flightless birds, they have super swimming speed and can swim 160 kilometers a day. When it comes to penguins, many people think of Antarctic penguins. In fact, there are not many species of Antarctic penguins, but the number is considerable.
