Question

What kind of biomes do penguins live in?

Answer 1

Hint: A biome is an assimilation of plants and animals having common characteristics for their living environment. Biomes can be found over a range of places.

Complete answer:
Biomes are biological communities formed because of the shared physical climate of the region. A biome consists of a variety of habitats.
A microbiome is a mixture of various organisms that coexist on a much smaller scale when compared to a biome. A human microbiome consists of various bacteria, viruses and microorganisms inside of a human body.
Tundra is a biome composed of shrubs, grasses, lichens and mosses. Growth of trees is limited in tundras due to their low temperature and short seasons for growth.
Penguins live in the Antarctic tundra biome. The Antarctic environment is too harsh for the propagation of plant life. Almost all of the continent of Antarctica is covered with thick ice caps. Some portions of the Antarctic continent have rocky soil which is capable of supporting plant life. The Antarctic flora is composed of almost 400 lichen species, 25-30 liverwort species, 50-100 liverwort species. There are around 600-700 species of algae present on the Antarctic continent. This flora lives on the rocky Antarctic peninsula.
The Antarctic tundra lacks large mammalian life due to the harsh conditions of the region and physical isolation from the other continents. Sea birds like penguins and sea mammals like seals inhabit the shores of the Antarctic tundra.

Note:
Humans have introduced some small mammals like cats and rabbits to the Antarctic tundra.
Most of the penguins are native to the Southern Hemisphere of earth. Penguin wings act like flippers that help them maintain agility while swimming. Sea mammals like leopard seals and fur seals along with killer whales and sharks are the natural predators of penguins.
