Penguins are fascinating creatures. Penguins, who live in Antarctica, have to endure -140 degree Fahrenheit (-60 Celsius) temperatures! Also, penguins drink salt water, and are able to filter out the salt leaving only the water to digest. It's a good thing they can filter the water, because penguins spend up to 75% of their time in the water.

Some penguins have made statements below. Your task is to identify each penguin species based on the statement. For example, "I live on large icebergs on the open ocean." is a statement made by a chinstrap penguin. Good luck. Winners receive prizes.

1. Although I was discovered by a Frenchman, my name was used in 18th century England to describe style and flair. I'm even mentioned in a popular folk song. Who am I?

2. I am the largest penguin species.

3. The smallest of all penguins, I can swim up to 45 miles per hour! Try to catch me if you can.

4. Located in New Zealand, I am the rarest of penguins.

5. I live in the warmest of places. You'll need to bring a fan to visit me.

6. Although I can't fly, I can rock climb by bouncing from rock to the other.

Elephants are fascinating creatures. Scientists have found that the elephant's brain is larger than a human. In fact, an elephant is a very intelligent animal, who can recognize themselves in a mirror and remember things for a very long time. Another claim to fame: elephants are the only mammal that cannot jump. Could you imagine what the ground would feel like if they could jump?

Here are some questions about elephants. Please post your answers as a comment. Good luck.

1. From what language does the word "elephant" originate?
2. Is an elephant a omnivore, herbivore, or carnivore?
3. What is another common name for tusks?
4. In the African Elephant species, who has tusks?
5. How much water can an elephant put in its trunk?
