Penguins

In one season there could be anywhere from 60 chicks to 110 chicks in one breeding season

29% of penguin eggs survive to become penguins

The smallest penguin species is the little blue penguin, also known as the fairy penguin. It is 16 inches tall.

The penguin pair travel many miles inland in the middle of winter and lay one egg, the female then gives that egg to the male to keep warm and walks back to the ocean to feed. For several months the male endures the arctic winter with the egg, and in time the female returns, usually by this time the egg has just hatched and the female can begin feeding the chick with her full belly of fish, the male then takes his turn returning to the ocean to feed, and they repeat this until the ice has melted far enough that the chick is now much closer to the water, and feeding becomes much easier.

Penguin Land happened in 1985.

Penguin Point was created in 1950.

They lay eggs and have feathers.

Penguins survive their harsh environment because of a layer of fat and water-resistant feather patterns that are tightly packed. The feathers keep out the brutal Antarctic winds. When possible, and a penguin wants to 'warm up', the animal simply dives into the warmer water, which is always warmer than the ambient air above the water line.

"There are seventeen species of penguins," according to Drieschman, who finally decided upon Gentoo penguins for the film. "The Gentoos are the third largest of all the penguins, found in the sub-Antarctic and the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and South Chapman's." Ranging in size from about nineteen to twenty-two inches tall, the Gentoos are distinguished by the white stripes across their heads and by their bright orange feet.

because they are black

Both the males and the females take turns looking after their young... so the other parent can go to sea to find food for the chick & the remaining parent.
