The males have to protect the eggs from coldness of Antarctica for two months straight without eating. Most of them lose about 12kg of their body weight during this time.

Emperor penguins breed in extreme cold environment with high winds.

In 2012 emperor penguins got status "near threatened" by IUCN. Climate change and fishing has made it more difficult for them to find food. Humans also disturb their colonies.
