The northern hemisphere counterpart would be the Auk. Auks are from a completely different evolutionary family than penguins. Auks can fly but look and act a lot like penguins. Penguins and auks are a good example of evolutionary convergence.
Auks are seabirds with compact bodies, short wings, and webbed feet adapted for swimming. They have black and white plumage, with some species having colorful bills during the breeding season. Auks are excellent divers and feed on fish and other marine life.
I do.
The feeding behaviour of auks varies between auk species, however in general they feed on small to medium sized fish. Unfortunately, the Great Auk is now extinct.
yes mostly Great Auks
It is a bird called the "Common Murre."Kayla
There rockets all started with auks and then the number they were for example Auk I
A couple relatives of the puffin are auks and murres.
Auks are birds of the family Alcidae
Gentoo Penguin
no, all penguins live in the southern hemisphere, unless thay are in zoos or aquariums, relatives of penguins, puffins and auks, do live in the nornthern hemisphere and can fly as well
The Great Auks were killed in great numbers for food and fishing bait by seafarers, later also for their feathers. When the population decline was noticed, demand for specimens from museums and collectors increased, which in the end contributed to the extinction.
