The penguin is a famous animal, belonging to birds. Penguins reproduce in the same way as other birds, laying eggs. However, some of the specific reproductive processes of penguins are different from those of other birds. For example, the reproductive efficiency of penguins is relatively low, generally speaking, female penguins can only produce one egg at a time. For example, female penguins bear the responsibility of laying eggs, while the responsibility of hatching eggs is handed over to the father penguin. That is to say, the penguin was hatched by its father.
When female penguins lay their eggs, their task is temporarily completed, and they will go to the water to hunt or rest in order to recover their strength. After that, the incubation process, which lasts about six weeks, is entirely done by the father penguin. Because the process of hatching can not leave, the father penguin can not leave for food during the whole process of hatching, until the process of hatching is completed.
above, penguins are hatched by their fathers. During the whole hatching process, penguin fathers usually do not leave penguin eggs. This is because the mother penguin will consume a lot of energy after laying the eggs. At this time, they will not have the physical strength to continue hatching the eggs. They can only give the task of hatching to the father penguin and hunt in the water to supplement their physical strength. However, this does not mean that the mother penguin is irresponsible. At this time, they will also pay attention to keeping a certain amount of food for their baby penguin in the process of hunting, and then return to it and the father penguin when the baby penguin is about to hatch.
