Emperor penguin(皇企鵝) [ 2006-06-17 10:16 ]
皇企鵝是唯一在南極大陸沿岸過(guò)冬的鳥(niǎo)類(lèi),并在冬季繁殖。雄性皇企鵝為了呵護(hù)雌企鵝產(chǎn)下的卵,會(huì)在隨后的兩個(gè)月或更長(zhǎng)時(shí)間內(nèi)不吃不喝,全心盡力用自己的身體給后代取暖。孵卵時(shí),雄企鵝將卵放在兩腳的蹼上并用肚皮蓋住,在這其間,雄企鵝的體重將減輕11公斤。
Penguin(皇企鵝): A
father Emperor penguin(皇企鵝)
withstands the Antarctic cold for 60 days or more to protect his eggs, which he
keeps on his feet, covered with a feathered flap. During this entire time he
doesn't eat a thing. Most father penguins lose about 25 pounds while they wait
for their babies to hatch. Afterward, they feed the chicks (剛出生的小企鵝) a special liquid from their
throats. When the mother penguins return to care for the young, the fathers go
to sea to eat and rest.
