During the period from mid - July to early August, the chicks hatched. But since the female emperor penguin has not yet returned, the male emperor penguin will still have to take care of the little penguins. However, the female penguin will be back eight weeks later, before they return, the little emperor penguin has no food to eat, if the small emperor penguin is too hungry, the male will secrete a white discharge to feed the small emperor penguin. This secretion is said to have no nutrition, just a deal with it.
In may of each year, the female emperor penguin lays an egg, then gives the egg to the male emperor penguin, and hurries back to the food - rich sea to feed on their weakened body.
The male emperor penguin puts the eggs on their feet, then lowers their warm abdomen and lays the eggs over. From then on, the male emperor penguin bent his neck, low head, did not eat and drink standing for more than 60 days, took on the task of hatching, relying on the consumption of its own fat to maintain the body.
From then on, the chicks are raised by male and female penguins in turn. By the time the emperor penguin grows to three months, his parents will leave them, and they will continue their ancestral instincts of the penguins to begin their journey to the sea.
