Penguins lie together, but each pair has a little piece of ground of their own. When a penguin wants to walk
through its neighbour's ground, it must ask for permission. If it does not, it will have to fight. Penguins come
and go all day. They catch fish and look after their children.
All penguins are good parents- the male penguins are perhaps the best parents in the world. They walk in
the middle of the dark Antarctic water. They choose their wives in the dark. They can only hear them-not see
them. Then the female penguins lay their eggs and go away for about two months. The males look after the
eggs. If the eggs get cold, there will be no chicks. There is no food. The snow falls and the wind
blows-sometimes at 150 kilometres an hour. The penguins do not move. When females return from the sea,
they will not remember their husbands. It does not matter. Only one thing matters - the eggs. Male penguins
never fight unless a penguin leaves a chick for a minute. Then they fight because they all want it. They are
strange and wonderful birds. |
