Be it any living being, when its child is about to be born, it becomes very sensitive. Be it animals or birds flying in the sky, they also care for their children as much as humans do. Just as we humans are ready to do anything to provide comforts and facilities for our children, the same happens with animals and birds too.
It is not that only humans are protective of their children or make sacrifices for them. Same thing happens in animals and birds also. You will be stunned if you hear about the sacrifice of the father among penguins, who are considered very cute. By now you might know penguins because of their cute moves and intelligence, but today we will tell you such a fact related to the Emperor Penguin that you will be surprised.
It is not easy to be a father like a penguin…
In this video you will see how a male penguin is keeping his egg in a specially made place in the body. By making a space between the two legs, he has placed the egg and covered it with his thin feathery skin on top. You will be surprised to know that this is not a matter of a week or two. The penguin remains standing like this carrying its egg for two months. During this time, they withstand icy winds, cold and even storms and do not move from their place. Not only this, he does not eat anything for 2 months. During this time, female penguins go hunting in the sea.
