(can someone me with this). write a short story about emperor penguins. they live in the antarctic ice. they are the largest of all penguins. an average bird stands 45 inches tall. the penguins live on the antarctic ice in the frigid waters. the emperors penguins have physiological adaptations and also cooperative behaviors in order for them to deal with all the harsh winds chills. in the antarctic it can get down to -76°f. the emperors penguins huddles together into groups to get warm. they each take turns in the middle of there circle to get warm. the female's breed during the harsh season. after they lay there eggs they will travel really far to hunt for food to bring back. when the leave the males keep the eggs warm with there feet. the female penguins hunt for fish, krill and squid. they can drive to 1,850 feet and stay under water for 20 minutes. common name: emperor penguin,. scientific name: aptenodytes forsteri. type: bird. diet: carnivore. average life spain in captivity: 15 to 20 yrs. size: 45 in. weight: up to 88 lbs.

about the emperor penguin

emperors are the largest of all penguins—an average bird stands some 45 inches tall. these flightless animals live on the antarctic ice and in the frigid surrounding waters.

antarctic adaptations

penguins employ physiological adaptations and cooperative behaviors in order to deal with an incredibly harsh environment, where wind chills can reach -76°f.

they huddle together to escape wind and conserve warmth. individuals take turns moving to the group's protected and relatively toasty interior. once a penguin has warmed a bit it will move to the perimeter of the group so that others can enjoy protection from the icy elements.

emperor penguins spend the long winter on the open ice—and even breed during this harsh season. females lay a single egg and then promptly leave it behind. they undertake an extended hunting trip that lasts some two months! depending on the extent of the ice pack, females may need to travel some 50 miles just to reach the open ocean, where they will feed on fish, squid, and krill. at sea, emperor penguins can dive to 1,850 feet—deeper than any other bird—and stay under for more than 20 minutes.

reproduction and parenting

male emperors keep the newly laid eggs warm, but they do not sit on them, as many other birds do. males stand and protect their eggs from the elements by balancing them on their feet and covering them with feathered skin known as a brood pouch. during this two-month bout of babysitting the males eat nothing and are at the mercy of the antarctic elements.

when female penguins return to the breeding site, they bring a belly full of food that they regurgitate for the newly hatched chicks. meanwhile, their duty done, male emperors take to the sea in search of food for themselves.

mothers care for their young chicks and protect them with the warmth of their own brood pouches. outside of this warm cocoon, a chick could die in just a few minutes. in december, antarctic summer, the pack ice begins to break up and open water appears near the breeding site, just as young emperor penguins are ready to swim and fish on their own.
