What is the lifecycle of penguins?

Answer 1

Well that depends largely on what species of Penguin your talking about.

Say it was an Emperer Penguin:

1. Winters aproching. Emperer Penguins start marching inland to the breeding grounds.
2. Courtship begins. Emperer Penguins find there mate. Theres more females than males so fights can happen.
3. After Matting the female lays one egg. Its transfered to the male, so the female can go to feed.
4. female returns. Males go to feed. By now the egg has hatched.
5. this cycle repeats until the chicks can feed themselves.
6. Emperer Penguins move back to the sea for 3 months than return again. The young Penguins wait 4-8 years before they are ready to mate.
7. They reapet this for there entier life, whitch is about 20 years.

This is just the Emperer Penguin of course. Other Penguins will differ here and there, but the basics are mostly the same.

Answer 2

Penguins start their lives as eggs, which are incubated by the parents. Once hatched, the chicks are cared for by their parents until they are old enough to be on their own. They grow up to become adults, finding a mate and starting the cycle over again by laying their own eggs.
