The Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the tallest and heaviest of all living penguin species and is endemic to Antarctica . The male and female are similar in plumage and size, reaching 122 cm (48 in) in height and weighing anywhere from 22 to 45 kg (49 to 99 lb). The dorsal side and head are black and sharply delineated from the white belly, pale-yellow breast and bright-yellow ear patches.
Curious question ('Meanest to who or what, and in what respect??') Highly unlikely to come across a 'mean, nasty Penguin' as such, though, only one species actually nurtures their adolescent chicks!! (The Gentoo)
All other species, just about disregard their offspring when they are no longer 'Chicks' apart from, the Gentoo, which does continue to nurture 'Teenagers' as it were? Does that make the other 16 species 'Mean' as such? I doubt that's a term that correctly applies!!
What are some adaptations for king penguins?
- There are 17 species of penguin
- They all live in the Southern Hemisphere
- They have normal feathers just tightly compact
- When a Galapagos penguin goes on shore, it covers its feet with its flippers to stop it getting sunburned.
- Penguins are black and white for camouflage- when a predator looks below them, they see the black back, which resembles the bottom of the sea, and when they look above they see white which is the colour of the sky or ice from down below.
- Penguins have tails for balance and a gland near the tail produces an oily substance which penguins then spread around their body in a process called 'preening'.
- Penguins have webbed feet which help them propel themselves through the water as well as flippers doing that.
- When penguins feed their chicks, they eat their food and regurgitate it for their chick so it is easier for them to eat.

Do penguins hold their egg in between their legs?
The male penguins hold their eggs between their legs near their feet.
Tom32397 says:
Yes they do this to keep it warm and protect it. The male penguin hold the egg while he is holding it the mother goes out to get fish for the penguin when it gets back once it has hatched. After the penguin is born the parent continues to hold the penguin because it has not yet developed enough feathers to warm itself and sustain itself on its own.
