Emperor Penguin
     
    Description: About 4 feet tall, it has a black head, back and flippers with white bars on the upper back, white under parts, orange and yellow on the sides of the head and orange on the lower bill.  The female lays a single white egg which the male places on his feet and incubates for 2 months. The young become independent about 5 1/2 months after hatching.

    Habitat: Emperor penguins live in the Antarctic on the ice and rocky islands off the coast of Antarctica.

    Foods: They eat fish, squid and plankton.

    Did you know?: Penguins are equipped for swimming rather than flying. They have a layer of blubber under the skin and a layer of down under their outer feathers to protect them from the cold.
