A very good question. Male penguins are known to gather rocks in order to build nests. They carefully select certain rocks to make their nests look more attractive to females, raising their chances at finding a mate. Nest building shows that a male is capable of taking care of its young.

Did you know that penguins sometimes steal rocks from other nests?
