Penguin Mothers lay one egg each on their feet, and then the parents transfer it to a sac at the bottom of the Father's abdomen, between his legs, with the pouch sitting on the top of his feet. The eggs are laid in a Rookery - large colony with hundreds of birds. Then the Mother penguins make a 90+ mile trip back to the sea for food. While they are gone, the fathers eat nothing. They just sit on the eggs. This time is very dangerous for the Mothers, because all the penguin eating animals in the World show up for these yearly feasts. The egg usually hatches about the time that Mom gets back with food for Dad. If Mom doesn't make it back, Dad becomes a single parent, and raises the chick himself. Disney and Animal Planet are Wonderful networks. Also recommended is a film called "March of the Penguins", narrated by Morgan Freeman.
