Penguins
The many kinds of penguin include Emperor, Gentoo, Chinstrap, Adélie, King, Macaroni and Rockhopper penguins but only 4 of them actually breed in Antarctica.They are the Adelie , Chinstrap, Emperor, and the Gentoo penguin.
Emperor Penguin
These flightless birds breed in the winter (unlike most birds, which breed in the springtime). After a courtship of several weeks, a female emperor penguin lays one single egg then leaves! Female emperors take off toward the open sea to feed, traveling up to 50 miles (80 kilometers) across the frozen surface. Where does that leave the eggs? At the feet, literally, of the male emperors.
