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(hù)雌企鵝產(chǎn)下的卵，會(huì)在隨后的兩個(gè)月或更長時(shí)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(shí)，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
father Emperor 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 the chicks （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.
