Three foods of penguins arered dotkrill, fish, and red dotsquid. Some of the smaller penguins eat only krill. red dotKrill is a tiny shrimp-like animal. Some of the larger penguins eat fish and squid, also. They find these foods in the waters around Antarctica. When penguins eat food while at sea, they store the food in a special place. When chicks are hungry, they reach into their parents' beaks to feed on the food the parents have regurgitated.

No, penguins are carnivores. They mostly eat fish and krill, although they also can eat various forms of crustaceans and squid as well. Their sharp, backward-pointing fleshy teeth allow them to catch fish up to 10 inches long, which they swallow head first. They don't eat any vegetable manner, so they cannot be an omnivore.

I'm pretty sure they are just carnivors, unless they feed on some type of algea or seaweeds. I'd say carivors, though. Most birds are (eating fish, bugs and the like)
