Hats off to all of the hard-working emperor penguin dads in Antarctica! After mating, the female lays a single, large egg that is then transferred to the feet of the male, who will incubate the egg until it hatches. 🐧🥚 The male proceeds to “sit on the egg”, covering it with a blanket of feathers, skin, and fat for two months in the dead of winter. During this time, the male does not feed and huddles with other nearby males to conserve body heat. Via @sciencechannel #penguin #penguins | Roam Th
