In the freezing Antarctic, the male emperor penguin keeps an egg warm on his feet for about two months while the mother goes to sea to feed. During this time he does not eat, and he shares warmth by huddling with other penguins. When the chick hatches, the mother returns with food. Emperor penguin families show great teamwork and patience.
