MIGRATION

Penguins travel over 50 miles to breeding grounds.

“March of the Penguins”

For thousands of years the breeding grounds have

been in same place

Every year all the groups of penguins arrive within

a couple hours of each other

Page 7: Penguin presentation

BREEDING PATTERNS

A female Emperor Penguin lays one egg and then leave to go

hunting

The male Emperor Penguin sits on the egg to keep it warm for

65 days!

During that time the male penguins do not eat anything

After the egg hatches the female penguins return and the male

penguins are allowed to leave to find their own food

BREEDING PAT TERNS CONTINUED

The baby Emperor Penguin does not leave her

mother’s pouch for 2 months

Without the protection of the mother’s pouch the

baby could freeze in less than 2 minutes

SOCIAL PATTERNS

huddle together for warmth
