The
Emperor Penguin from Schleich® WILD LIFE is the largest and heaviest
penguin species. It is also unique for living so far south in
Antarctica. Emperor Penguins don’t build a nest, instead brooding
directly on the ice. After laying an egg, the female goes back to sea to
hunt for fish, leaving the male to look after the egg. He places it on
his feet and incubates it under his abdominal crease.
Fun Fact
When emperor penguins exit the water they jump in a high arc onto the ice.
