Day in the life of a Little Blue Penguin

Hi! Let me introduce myself, I’m Coco, a little blue penguin.  I live in the South island. Other blue penguins live in the North, Stewart and Chatham Islands. Let me give you an experience of what I get up to on a normal day.

The sun rises, signalling the new day. Normally it's chilly in the early morning and  night. But, thanks to my thick skin and lots of fat (blubber), my skin always keeps warm in the cold weather. I sometimes huddle together with my friends to keep warm. In the morning I like to waddle up to the sea to catch my prey as quick as I can because then they will get scared because of all the other penguins .On a normal day I would eat small fish such as anchovies, squid and  plankton but when I'm feeling lucky I like to eat krill, small octopus and pilchards, small grey fish. Today, I'm feeling lucky so I will eat krill for breakfast, pilchards for lunch and small octopus for dinner, small octopuses always fill me up and their my FAVOURITE!!!! Hunting for these fish is easy, that's why I only eat them when I feel like getting treated. Because I'm always up for the challenge.



Let me go and get my fish and I will be back! 2 mins later, well that was easy! See I told you fishing for krill is easy. Well I gobbled them up  quickly man I was HUNGRY!!!! Well now that this out of the way.I want to go and hang out with my friends in the ocean my normal call to get my friends here is a like a snoring sound a little . Oh look there here,anyways my friends names are Sunny, Emma, Olivia, Ava,Isabella, sophia, Charlotte, Mia and Amelia. Oh hey!what are you up to do you guys want to go and catch krill anyways it is mothers day so might as well catch food for our mother’s so are you up for the challenge. ‘Yeah!! Let's do it then surprise our mothers after catching them’’! Ok let's go out to sea to catch our food

Luckily that is my mother's favourite food!!! Ok i will see you when I have a few fish in my basket bye! 20 mins later, I’ve got a ton of krill in my basket and I have the most out of all my friends!and I even ate a few I didn’t think my mum would eat that much. But I still have the most and then Sunny and the second most.anyways it's lunch time for me so more catching to do for me now time for the pilchards YUM! Well catching this will take me no time so I will be back in a flash!  hey guys I told you I would be back in a flash! Pilchards look like sardines a little but they are a bit bigger they are a grey color it is a dark grey at the top and a light at the bottom only at the mouth, it is black and brown at the mouth.
Well I'm getting hungry so I'm just going to eat them. Now Time for my luxurious NAP I love Napping . If i don’t take a rest I get CRANKY and I get real CRANKY. So LET ME TAKE MY REST ok BBBBBYYYEE!!!
5 hours later, HOW DARE YOU NOT WAKE ME UP!!!! I slept in now i have not much time to catch my food but before that i’ll tell you about my dream. Here goes:  so it all started when I had been transported to the year of the UNICORNS!!!!!!!!! I met all the unicorns and I even made 3 new friends Polly, Molly and Dolly Polly was the pink and the cute one in the group, Molly was the nice and friendly one and Dolly was the one who knew everybody in the whole WORLD!! But then I felt something touching me on my back when I turned around I saw a ……….. SEAL and if you didn’t know they are our biggest predators and because I'm so so clumsy I fell down  while trying to run away but I got too scared and waddled all the way home!! Well that took long! Now finally time for small octopus these critters normally come out at night so it’s extremely easy to sneak attack on them! Hahahahaha !!!! well anyways I will see you at bedtime goodbye! Well that was filling, now time to brush my teeth I use a leaf to do that and my breath smells so good so let me do my brushing in peace! Today was a very tiring day! I’m so sleepy.Snoring, snoring, snoring ZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
