The Amazing Birds

Penguins are birds that are only found in the Southern Hemisphere. There are 17 different types of penguin species alive but one of the most common question asked is why can’t they fly?

They have have lost their ability to fly because where they live there was no need to fly. Their wings have become smaller and has adapted to help them survive in the conditions that their habitats are in. The Penguin’s wings have now turned into fully functional “flippers” meaning that they can swim instead of flying. They use this ability to catch prey and help them to get away from any predators that are threatening them. Their feathers also have adapted, it has grown fluffier to help them keep warm under the conditions of the water.

It’s amazing how the penguins have evolved and adapted to their own habitat.

The Faithful Nun

Euphrasie Barbier was born in 1829 in Caen , France. She was a humble nun that put others first before herself.

When she was a young nun she was faithful and was determined to be a foreign missionary. She first joined the Sister of Calvary hoping to travel to a new country to teach about God. She left for London but toward the end of 1850s she had to travel back to France. Euphrasie left the Sisters of Calvary.

In 1861 she founded the Mission Sisters. Hearing about New Zealand she left France to teach young European settlers as well as Maori Girls. It was very courageous of her since mostly only male missionaries did this kind of job but her faithfulness and commitment pushed her to be a helpful, loving nun.

Even though she was becoming old Euphrasie still showed her faith and still guided the mission sisters but on January the 18 1893 she died at Sturry, England.
