About These Birds
Downy Woodpecker
솜털딱따구리는 북아메리카에서 가장 작고 가장 널리 분포하는 딱따구리이다. 소형 체구 덕분에 더 큰 딱따구리가 접근할 수 없는 가는 나뭇가지와 잡초 줄기에서 먹이를 찾을 수 있다. 솜털딱따구리는 겨울에 혼종 무리에 합류하여 여러 종이 함께 포식자를 감시하는 이점을 얻는다.
King Penguin
임금펭귄은 남극 주변 아남극 지역에 서식하는 세계에서 두 번째로 큰 펭귄이다. 선명한 주황색과 노란색 귀 깃털이 특징이며 키가 약 95cm에 달한다. 깊은 바다로 잠수하여 물고기를 잡으며 번식에 14개월이 걸리는 긴 번식 주기를 가진다.
