While the mother Emperor Penguin is out looking for food for the new born that is going to hatch soon the male Emperor Penguin sits on the egg for about a month . Once the Penguin has hatched the male and Emperor Penguin leaves the chick for a couple of hours while he goes and hunts for food a .He does this because the males starve for about 125 days also don't eat because they can't leave the chicks sight. Also the mother Emperor Penguin if her chick does not make it through the birth she will attempt to take or steal another mothers baby (chick) . The chick once is hatched the chick walks or steps on their mothers feet until they can walk.
The Emperor Penguin lives in Antarctica and spends three months in the water and then they spend the other three months on land walking 70miles to find breeding ground . The Emperor Penguin can walk through winds at 100km per hour it is -58 when the sun is out. They can also can dive to 500 metres below water and can hold breath for 15 minutes maximum . If the mother is late to come back from hunting all the males will huddle to keep warm and also to protect them selves from the fierce winds . When they all huddle they take turns off being on the outside so the Penguins on the middle can keep warm. When the mother gets back from hunting and they are tired of walking they slide on their stomachs on the ice to give their feet a rest .
