Penguins spend most of their life on land.

Penguins spend most of their life on land.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Only During Breeding

Answer: (B)

Penguins are built for life in the ocean. They spend the vast majority of their time foraging underwater, using their strong flippers to swim and hunt for fish and squid. They only come ashore for breeding, nest maintenance, and the annual molt to replace their feathers. Because of that, the period on land is relatively brief compared to the time spent at sea. So, the statement is false. The other options don’t fit because penguins aren’t on land most of the time, aren’t occasionally on land by pattern, and aren’t limited to land only during breeding.
