THE GREATEST EVER AUK
By Fraser
Walls.
The Great
Auk belonged to the penguin family and lived up to the early C19. It
looked like a black and white penguin except for it’s hunormous beak.It was as
tall as an Emperor Penguin, about 3feet tall.The Auk’s small wings stopped it
from flying and also it walked clumsily
Habitat
It lived around
the Scottish Islands, New Foundland and the waters of the Arctic Ocean.
It ate mainly
small fish and it was an agile swimmer. It floated on the water to rest and
look for fish. The nesting islands were crowded by heaps of other Auk’s.
Extinction
Most of the the
Auk’s died out because fisherman clubbed and killed them for the delicious meat
and stuffed their pillows and beds with the feathers.
Conclusion.
I think that it
is sad that the Great Auk was made extinct because of humans and that we should
do better in the future to save the species.
