Emperor penguin(皇企鵝) [ 2007-06-08 14:43 ]
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.
