The scene of the first episode about emperor penguins, a large group of male emperor penguins gathered together in the cold weather and slowly "moved" forward. What is even more surprising is that under their abdomens, there are unhatched eggs hidden on the insteps. . So I went to Baidu to download Emperor Penguin. The following content was learned from Baidu Encyclopedia.
They breed in the harsh Antarctic winters, when there are relatively few predators. First of all, the mother penguin laid an egg more than a month after the breeding ground, and temporarily completed the task. At this time, the mother penguin consumed a lot of physical energy due to laying eggs and was already hungry, so they could not wait to go to the sea for food, The eggs are handed over to the penguin fathers, and naturally, the task of hatching falls on the fathers. But they had to hatch the chicks at minus 40 degrees and maybe even lower. How did they do that? The secret lies beneath their belly, a pouch full of blood vessels that keeps the eggs at a comfortable 36 degrees Celsius in ambient temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees. So there are conditions for incubation. The penguin fathers do not eat or drink, and they concentrate on hatching eggs. About two months later, the penguin baby was born, and the penguin mother also rushed back from the distant sea. The penguin mother went to forage not only to fill her stomach, but also to store food. Come back to feed the born baby. At this time, the mother penguin took over the task of feeding the children, and the father penguin was finally able to rush to the sea to have a big meal.
The emperor penguin husband and wife have a clear division of labor, enduring hunger, overcoming the severe cold, and with joint efforts, the baby penguin is guaranteed to be born smoothly.
