…………carnivores…………..

They don’t eat krill

Penguins’ bills are generally short and stout with a strong grip. Larger penguins like the Emperor and King have down curved bills, possibly to help them catch fast swimming fish and squid in deep cold waters.

Food fads

Penguins feed on small fish, floating crabs and squids. Most species of penguins eat snow, and all of them drink salt water and fresh water. They can endure long periods without food on land.

Carnivores. They don’t even have plants to chew on in the Antarctic. At least, I don’t think they do.
