What many people don't know is that daddy Penguins are the "model dads" in the animal world. Most animals may be hatched by females, but penguins are different. Female penguins will return to the sea to look for food after giving birth to penguin eggs, and at this time, daddy Penguins will do the hatch job.
The microvascular structure of penguin feet is very special, even standing on the ice will not freeze. They are covered with fine feathers with waterproof effect, and the temperature of the abdomen holding the egg is as high as 37 ℃ to ensure that the egg will not be frozen. The cold wind in Antarctica always makes some daddies lose their babies. The heartbroken daddies couldn't accept this sad reality at all, they would even take the snowball with similar shape as their babies. And those daddies who slowly accept this cruel reality would go to the sea alone, praying that the next winter can come early.
In the process of hatching babies, the daddy penguins basically don’t eat or drink, they put the penguin eggs under his feet for hatching. And the magic thing is that daddy penguins all have a brood bag. If the penguin baby hatches before the female penguin come back, their daddies will put the little penguins in the brood bag to raise them.
After the female penguins come back, daddy penguins will return to the sea to look for food. However, the time for them to look for food is relatively short, and usually they will come back to take care of the little penguins to lower their partners’ burden within a month. That is to say, in the process of raising young penguins, male penguins actually bear more responsibility than female penguins.
Although it is a very difficult process for a life to grow up from birth, penguin parents love their babies so much that they are willing to give anything.
