Dear Mrs.Prevenas

I wanted to know what will happen to the penguins and other marine animals if all the ice melted? and would it be possible to live under water if global warming took over?Jackie Naeole P6SurprisedLaughingCoolWinkInnocent

Hi Jackie, 
The animals that will be affected most are those that live and have their
babies on the ice. Animals like the walrus, ringed seal, and polar bear up
here in the Arctic. The penguins are in the southern ocean, some of those,
like the emperor penguin, will suffer greatly.
