Pengoose

Species Origins
Ever since the Alathra's ice age, creatures have evolved to live in cold environments. One such animal was a species of flightless bird called the Pengoose. Although originally thought to be only semi-intelligent, it was discovered that Pengeese could do a lot more than what was initially thought of them. They communicate by making distinct clicking sounds with their beaks, and generally formed small tribal societies.

Physiology
Though many types of Pengeese exist, no such name for alternations in their appearance has been given at this time. Pengeese, regardless of their environment, have white and black bellies with multicolored stripes. They share similar features other birds such as Penguins and Toucans. They generally range anywhere from 5-7 feet tall although there are some exceptions. Most Pengeese have flippers, although some Pengeese's flippers are more winglike than others, even occasionally sporting feathers.

Reproduction
Like most birds, Pengeese hatch from eggs.

Diet
Pengeese prefer to eat fish and insects but will eat other foods such as fruits if necessary.

Habitat
Pengeese are found in cold and temperate climates, depending on the type of pengoose. Some Pengeese live closer to the equator, but this is a rare occurrence.
