Best Answer

The mother penguin looks for food instead of the father penguin is because the male penguins are more aggressive and will fight with other male penguins while the female penguins are calm and won't fight with other penguins.

How go penguins produce offspring?

Here is the Club Penguin answer: you can't, you can go to the Pet Shop and sometimes other penguins pretend to be little kids and you can "adopt" them. Here is the real penguin answer: they have sex then the father penguin keeps the egg safe and warm on their feet with a skin flap going over it. During this time the mother penguin goes back to the ocean because having the egg made her lose lots of body weight. After the chick hatches, then the mother comes back. The father then has to hurry to the ocean because he has not eaten in a long time a will die if he doesn't get food soon. while he is away, the mother feeds the baby by regurgitating fish stored in a pouch in her throat. After some time {I do not know the exact amount} the mother and father leave their baby. For more information, watch the movie "March of the Penguins".
