[ 2007-06-08 14:43 ]
皇企鵝是唯一在南極大陸沿岸過(guò)冬的鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)，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(zhǎng)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.
