A male emperor penguin keeps an egg warm at Nanjing Underwater World in Nanjing, east China's Jiangsu province, February 10, 2009. An aquarium staff member said he found a female emperor penguin laid an egg early Monday morning. It's the first emperor penguin egg laid in China. Six emperor penguins live at the aquarium, which were all brought back from Antarctica by Chinese scientists. The female emperor penguin lays one egg each time and transfers it to the male to hatch and incubate it. [CFP]

皇帝企鵝(emperor penguin)常簡稱為帝企鵝或皇企鵝,是企鵝家族中體型最大的屬種,成年帝企鵝身高可達(dá)120厘米,體重可達(dá)46千克。在帝企鵝發(fā)現(xiàn)之前,有一種企鵝被認(rèn)為是最大的企鵝,取名為國王企鵝。后來,在南極大陸沿海帝企鵝被發(fā)現(xiàn),由于它比國王企鵝還高一頭,因此給它取名為皇帝企鵝。
