Ribbit: That’s right. So it doesn’t touch the ice.
17 The male, that has lost a lot of weight, may now go to the sea, where it will feed on fish.
The male incubates the egg for more than 60 days. It can’t move, so it can’t go out fishing. Not feeding properly, it eventually looses weight. 15
18 At last, the female comes just in time for the hatching. Penguin: - Well it’s about time!
