Emperor chick

from 74,00 €

It's good to take a nap when you're full. For emperor penguins, each pair produces only one egg, which is incubated solely by the male. After hatching, the female takes over for a while, and eventually, both parents work together to bring food to their single chick.

The emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the only penguin species that nests on Antarctic ice, far from open water. As the largest penguin, it weighs over 20 kilograms as an adult and can reach a height of up to 1.3 meters. The species is considered stable but classified as Near Threatened.

Fetching food is no simple task. Emperor penguins waddle or glide on their bellies for up to dozens of kilometers to reach the water’s edge. The deepest recorded dive is 565 meters, and they can stay underwater for up to 20 minutes. Once their stomachs are full of partially digested seafood, they regurgitate the meal directly into their chick's mouth.
