皇企鵝是唯一在南極大陸沿岸過冬的鳥類,并在冬季繁殖。雄性皇企鵝為了呵護雌企鵝產(chǎn)下的卵,會在隨后的兩個月或更長時間內(nèi)不吃不喝,全心盡力用自己的身體給后代取暖。孵卵時,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 fatherEmperor 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 thechicks(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.
