Introduction
Penguin is an animal that mostly live on North Antartica, the coldest place on the Earth. They are unique animals, having wings on their body but can not fly. They use the wings to swim through waters to hunt their food. Because penguins are unique, there are some people who wants to have them as their pet. But, their current number are decreasing, so the government decided to label them as an endangered animal.
Benefit
Although
most penguin live on North Antartica, there are also some which live on the Southern Hemisphere. There are reported some species of penguin which live on Galapagos Island on the South America which have tropical water. Indonesia have tropical weather, so we can bring those species as pet in Indonesia. Anyways, living things have the ability to adapt with their new habitat. Because the weather is not really different, they will be faster to adapt. We can even build a place similar to their habitat. Make a new home for them. We can make artificial ocean in our backyard if we are rich enough. Because penguin are penguins are endangered species, we have to be responsible if we want to pet them. But, we can ask government to have certain endangered animals as pet.
Disadvantages
We live in tropical island, we can take penguin from Galapagos Island, but we cant take penguin from the other place which have cold weather. It will be hard for other penguin because they will be hard to adapt with tropical weather. If build a new similar habitat, there will be a chance for the penguins to lost their natural instinct. For example, if we keep feeding them, the penguin might lose their hunting skill. And if we let it out back to the wild life, they will be confused to adjust back to its own habit. Then, with penguins' s endangered label, penguin is not easy to take care. If they die in our hands, it will be our responsibility, and the decreasing in number will be our responsibility. We would be interferring nature. It's best to leave what belongs to nature.
Conclusion
Penguin is a unique animal. With the unique characteristics, there are many people interested to have them as pet. Even if there are many ways to have them as pet, it's better to let them on its own habitat. There are many pet which was easier to adapt.
