Those Incredible Penguins
Discover the Fascinating World of Penguins
The documentary "The March of the Penguins" has sparked immense interest in these captivating creatures. Penguins, often perceived as peculiar, reveal extraordinary determination and resilience. Here’s a closer look at these remarkable animals.
Penguins: Nature’s Dapper Animals
Often likened to little creatures in tuxedos, penguins have long intrigued people with their unique appearance. However, their story goes beyond looks, as depicted in "The March of the Penguins," which highlights the endurance and dedication of Emperor Penguins as parents. If you haven't seen it yet, it's a must-watch that will make you laugh, cry, and admire these majestic beings.
Penguin Habitats
Penguins primarily inhabit Antarctica, thriving in its icy environment. You can also find them along the chilly coastal areas of New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa. Interestingly, there are no penguins in the Arctic, a stark contrast to polar bears, which don't reside in Antarctica.
Diverse Penguin Species
There are seventeen species of penguins, varying in size. The smallest, the Rockhopper, stands about twelve inches tall, whereas the Emperor Penguin can reach nearly 48 inches.
Feeding and Swimming
Penguins feed in the ocean, dining on fish, squid, or krill while holding their breath underwater for up to six minutes?"six times longer than the average human can. Although powerful swimmers, they cannot swim backwards.
Unique Breeding Cycle
As revealed in "The March of the Penguins," these birds have a distinctive breeding process. Breeding occurs annually in protected areas known as rookeries. Penguins, much like salmon, return to the same rookeries each year, sometimes trekking up to 70 miles due to ice flow conditions.
Upon reaching the rookeries, penguins engage in courtship until they find a suitable mate. The female lays a single egg, which the male then balances on his feet, covering it with his belly to keep it warm for nine weeks without eating. During this time, the female returns to the ocean to replenish her energy. She comes back just in time for the egg to hatch, feeding the chick from her mouth, while the male heads to the ocean to regain his strength.
Penguins in Captivity
When observing penguins in zoos or water parks, it’s important to recognize their plight. Originating from Antarctica, their immune systems are not adapted to germs found outside their frozen homeland, making them susceptible to diseases.
In conclusion, many people, myself included, may have overlooked penguins in the past. It's unfortunate because these creatures are truly remarkable in every sense.
