Penguin

In my past English class, I had to do a report, getting information from A National Geographic magazine, I was like this is going to be really hard because it has boring article and it did not seem to be fun. As I was looking for a magazine to write about, I really like this one that I picked it had penguins and it reminder me of the movie “ Happy Feet,’’ so I thought that it was going to be interesting and fun to read about penguins.

There are a lot of interesting article in the magazine that I looked at, but the most interesting on was called “Emperors of the Ice.” it is about penguins. I thought that this quote, “Regal birds nurture their young through relentless blizzards, and months of killing cold.” -Glenn Oeland is a sad quote because these birds live Antarctica and it is very, very cold there even though that’s how they live, but seeing that they have young ones are even sadder because they have to try and keep their baby as warm as possible so nothing dangerous would happen to it.

This is an interesting article because I learned that these emperors birds live in a place that becomes like a looming hurricane in March. Where they all have to look for places to stay at to survive. An interesting thing I read was that this birds breed in winter, and that the females compete for males, and that they are very unfaithful to others. It just sounds like something that a human being would do.

Reading the article I came upon a part where it was talking about the process or months that a male father had to do to comfort the newborn baby. It sounded interesting because in the real world the mother and father work together to take care the child until they’re really to be on it’s own, but it is different how penguins take cares of their baby. I learned that the male penguins has the egg on his feet for 65 days until it is good and ready for the mother to take care of it. While they are doing that they loss a third of it’s body weight. These egg are usually laid in the early winter. These are some of the interesting facts.

All of the pictures in these magazine are really beautiful and nice. There is a picture that I really like. It was the picture of the ocean where there was a huge ice with a lot of penguins standing on top of it and being bunch together to enjoy their self in having some fun with the others. Some were jumping into the water which also reminded me of a scene from the movie I mention early in the report . It seem really creative, the way how most of the penguins stick together through the coldness and horrible weather there in Antarctica
