The Back Story:

Emperor Penguin with Chick

Male and female penguins lose substantial mass while raising hatchlings and incubating their egg. A male emperor penguin must withstand the Antarctic cold for more than two months to protect their egg from extreme cold. During this entire time he doesn’t eat anything. Most male penguins will lose about 26 lbs while they wait for their chick to hatch.The starting weight of males at the beginning of the breeding season is 84 lbs and that of females is 65 lbs.After the breeding season this drops to 51 lbs for both sexes. Emperor Penguins, are considered the most beautiful of all penguins.
