One of the toughest challenges for penguins is the birth of a baby chick. Once the female penguin forms the egg with the baby chick inside, the daddy penguin keeps the egg warm on his feet under his feathers. That means he has to walk on his heels for about a couple weeks to even a entire month! If he drops it, the chick will freeze to death and it will never hatch. Dads are responsible for the babies. The moms go out to collect fish to eat. When she finally returns back, she regurgitates it to the baby. (Or spit out of her body. I know it sounds disgusting, but it's true.)
