A Penguin's Chick.....

Penguins Are Fascinating seabirds. They Have Black And White Feathers And A Funny Waddle.
Penguin Couples Usually Work Together To Take Care Of Their Babies Until They re Quite Grown Up.

As Soon As The Female Penguim Lays Eggs She Rushes Out For Dinner, Leaving The Male To Watch The Nest.
Several Days Later, When The Female Returns It's The Male's Turn To Head Out For Food,Leaving The Female With The Egg.

With The Exception Of Emperor Penguins,Partner's Take Turns In Incubating The Eggs.The Incubation Period Varies From One
To Six Months, According To The Species.

A NewBorn Penguin Chick Is Covered With A Grey Coloured Down That Protects The Babies From The Cold As Mush As Possible.
During Their Nesting Period, Baby Peguins Stay In The Nest Where They re Fed By Their Parents.

Once The Chick Is Strong Enough And The Parents Feel That They Do Not Require Constant Supervision,Both Parents Head For
The Ocean At The Same Time. The Chicks Are Left In A Group Together.

When The Parents Return With The Dinner They Recognize Their Chick By It's Voice.
Amazingly,The Parent's And The Baby Penguins Both Have No Problem Recognizing Each Other Even Among Hundreds Of Other
Penguins!
