=Our fat question is ~ What will happen to Antarctica if global warming gets worse?=

__**EMPEROR PENGUINS**__

 * Peguins eat fish, krill and squid beacause they are small and easy to digest.
 * One of their hunting patterns is to dive about 50m so from there they can easily spot the fish that are swimming under the surface.
 * They also blow bubbles in to the cracks to find the hiding fish.
 * The penguins predators are Leopard seals, Antarctic giant petrels, Orca (Killer Whales), Skua, Sharks and abandoned sled dogs.
 * Emperor penguins have special water-proof feathers that traps air to help keep them warm in the freezing weather.
 * Most penguins spend as much as 75% of their lives in the water.
 * Most penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere.
 * They live on predator free islands or remote parts of a continent because they are defenseless birds.
 * __==**__CRAB-EATER SEAL__**==__**
 * The crabeater seal eats krill then they filter it out with their specially adapted teeth.
 * They dive 250m deep to catch there prey then they at it at about 20 m deep.
 * Leapord seals are major predators against crab eater seals, especcially young ones.
 * After moulting season there fur goes a dark brown fur with fading blonde on there belly.
 * They breed, rest and moult on a pack of ice.
 * Crab-eater seals moult during January and February.
 * They move southwards in Spring and northwards in Autumn because of the way the ice gets bigger or smaller with the seasons.
