(Describer) Title: Emperor Penguins.
(male narrator)
Their waddle has
made them famous.
Emperor penguins
are the cutest creature
in the world's
coldest climate--Antarctica.
These flightless marine birds
have adapted well
to the ice, snow,
and frigid waters.
Emperors are the largest
of all penguins,
and being big actually means
being warmer.
Their bodies can conserve
more heat.
Emperors have
more feathers per square inch
than any other bird,
helping to keep them warm.
When diving for food,
a thick layer of blubber
insulates them from the cold.
If these birds seem
extra cuddly, there's a reason.
Adults and chicks alike
will huddle together
in large packs
to beat the cold.
Adults walk with newborns
on their feet and under blubber
to protect them
from the elements.
They don't let ice
become an obstacle.
Travel involves
sliding on their bellies
for miles at a time.
They're also expert climbers,
using claws and beaks
to scale the icy cliffs.
They learn this
at a very young age.
That's life with the ice
for emperor penguins.
