Text on Old World hang tag: Emperor Penguins are the largest of their species and spend winter on Antarctica’s open ice. After the female lays a single egg, the father balances it on his feet and covers it with his warm layer of feathered skin. About two months later when the chick hatches, the mother takes over its care.
