Emperor Penguin in the Antarctic Snow
An imposing emperor penguin stands next to an egg on a wide field of packed snow. Curved snow ridges form a quiet polar landscape surrounding the parent bird. Emperor penguins breed during the harsh Antarctic winter, keeping their eggs safe in one of the coldest environments on Earth.
How Emperor Penguins Care for Eggs
Male emperor penguins incubate a single egg for over two months without eating any food. They balance the egg on top of their feet, covering it with a warm fold of feathered skin called a brood pouch. By standing tightly together in huge groups called huddles, the penguins share body heat and block freezing polar winds.
