The sea is getting colder and colder, the flow of the sea surface is getting slower and slower, and there is ice everywhere. The fields gradually became quiet. The Antarctic continent has heard the footsteps of winter.
Hundreds of male penguins stood together, motionless. Their chubby bodies are so attractive, their backs are covered with luxurious black, and their bellies are the same color as snow, but their furry texture makes them look warmer than snow. However, these penguins have no leisure to appreciate their appearance, because they shoulder the heavy responsibility of penguin species on earth.
Every year when winter comes, the mother penguin lays eggs and gives birth to the next generation. Each female penguin lays only one egg in the annual spawning. In order to supplement the nutrition for the weak body after delivery, penguin mothers must go to the distant seaside for food, and the important task of incubating eggs is handed over to penguin father. It seems that nature intends to test father penguin. Penguin eggs can't stand collision, squeezing and cold, so in the next three months, penguin father must never leave penguin eggs.
The weather is getting worse and worse, the blue of the sky gradually fades, and then gradually deepens into gray. The wind roared from a distance, rolled up snowflakes and swept the earth. Penguin dads huddle together tightly and still stand, with penguin eggs sandwiched between their stomachs and feet. The wind is blowing harder. Penguin dads, like sculptures, use their bodies to resist storms for their little lives.
10 days, 20 days, 30 days ...
More than 90 days and nights, the penguin father is like this. They can't touch, press or eat. For more than 90 days and nights, the only thing that supports penguin fathers is the hope of little life in penguin eggs.
This day has finally arrived.
"Click, click ..." There was a slight peck in the egg. Once, twice, three times ... it is so fragile and firm. Cracks gradually appeared on the eggshells, and later, the eggshells began to peel off one by one. After a small impact, five wet, hairy gray heads were dug out of the eggshell. A new life was born!
The little penguin wriggled out of the eggshell. The first thing he saw was his father's tired and happy face. Papa penguin looks at this lovely little life. After sleeping for three months, everyone became gratified.
The sun is rising. The golden sunshine, which falls on the penguin father and son, is the most beautiful moment!
