Under the surface
Winter arrives in Antarctica in March. The continent is in the Southern Hemisphere and has seasons that are opposite those in the north. Nearly all creatures leave except for the emperor, the only animal that spends the winter on Antarctica's open ice. Emperor penguins are the largest of the 17 species, or kinds, of penguins, and they spend their entire lives on Antarctic ice and in its waters.
How they survive!
They survive—breeding, raising young, and eating—by relying on a number of clever adaptations. Emperors clump together in huge,huddled masses. They take turns
oving to the inside of the group, where they're protected from the icy cold temperatures and wind.
Hatching
Each penguin egg's father balances it on his feet and covers it with his brood pouch, a very warm layer of feathered skin designed to keep the egg cozy. There the males stand, for about 65 days, through icy temperatures, cruel winds, and blinding storms and they eat nothing that whole time.
