There are some unusual birds that live in Antarctica. They are called penguins. They are quite big birds but they can`t fly at all. But they are excellent swimmers and divers. While the penguins` mums spend the winter at sea, their dads take care of the eggs for nine weeks. During this time they don`t eat or drink. For extra warmth these brave and strong birds live in big groups. Together they try to keep their children out of the cold air and wind. The blue whale lives in Antarctica too. It is the largest animal in the world. But i will write you about them in my next story. Send your letters to our magazine. Ask me as many questions as you can and I`ll try to answer them all.
