The Penguins: Emperor Penguin
built 630 days ago
[F]ree from any obligation, the male emperor penguin can worry about himself and embark on his journey to get back into shape: he has lost between 25 and 35 pounds. But before he leaves, he has one last task: to teach his own song to his child. His chick must memorize this pitch because when the father returns, the chick will be alone, left at the nursery among hundreds of chicks who look just like him. He and his father will have to recognize each other, because chicks can only be fed by their own parents, who take turns one after the other, so this lesson has to be effective.

P[H]ysically the King penguin resembles the Emperor in many ways. They are slightly smaller, standing about 3 feet tall. Because they don't face the extremes in weather, and prolonged fasting, that the Emperor does; the King penguin is much slimmer, weighing in at half the Emperor's weight (about 45 lbs). The colorful patches around the ears and throat are darker and more "orangish" than the Emperor's.

The emperor penguin and man have not lived together long enough for folktales or myths to develop. They remain strangers, crossing on rare occasions in the vast desert expanses of the Antarctic.
