THE EMPEROR PENGUIN
Emperor penguins are special penguins living in very cold Antarctica. They are the biggest
penguins, almost as tall as a six-year-old. They have a unique way of taking care of their
babies. They lay one egg and let the dad stay with the egg and keep it warm while the
mom finds food in the sea.
To keep warm, emperor penguins have lots of feathers and fat. They stay close together
in a big group to stay warm. But these penguins are in danger because of climate change,
which makes their home and food disappear.
Emperor penguins are also great swimmers. They can dive and stay underwater for a
long time. They have special calls to talk to each other.
