Describe your animal (Colour, size, body parts) || I observed that the emperor penguin makes a screechy noise when it calls and its way of feeding is very strange. It feeds its young by regurgitating the fish it has eaten. The emperor penguin is the largest penguin, at 45 in (115cm) and a weight of up to 40kg this penguin is huge. It has a large beak and two powerful wings. Although it can't fly in the air it flies in the water! The emperor penguin has a black body with a white chest, it also has a light shade of orange aroung the neck. || Describe how your animal behaves (moves, flies, runs) || The emperor penguin moves on land by either waddling or sliding on its belly on the ice. Even though it is a bird it can't fly but in the water it flies. It swims so fast and it looks like it is flying! They swim without effort and their wings are extremely powerful. On land the emperor penguin can't move very fast. || Where it lives ||  || What it eats How it eats || The Emperor Penguin's diet consists mainly of fish. The Emperor Penguin eats : The Antarctic Silverfish, Glacial Squid, Hooked Squid and Antarctic Krill. The Emperor Penguin eats by going out to sea and then dives to a maximum of 1500m and then it starts to feed. It chases its prey and then gobbles the prey up! The dives may last 15 minutes or more. || How does it have babies? How does it care for its babies? How long do they live? || The penguins start mating in March or April, when the temperature can be as low as −40 °C (−40 °F). A lone male gives an ecstatic display, where it stands still and places its head on its chest before inhaling and giving a call for 1–2 seconds; it then moves around the colony and repeats the call. A male and female then stand face to face, with one extending its head and neck up and the other copying it; they both hold this posture for several minutes. When they are in pairs one bird bows deeply to its mate, its bill pointed close to the ground, and its mate then does the same. The mother feeds the baby by fishing and when it comes back it regurgitates its food into the baby's mouth. In this time the males will huddle to stay warm and they don't eat for weeks! The parents will stay with the baby until it is old enough to fend for itself. || What does it do during the day and night? || In the day and night, Emperor Penguins don't do that much. The mainly will either eat, sleep or huddle together for warmth. A baby penguin is playful and they tend to waddle around quite a bit. Parent penguins will often go hunting in the water for food for the chicks since the chicks are to young to hunt for themselves. || How has it changed over time in Antarctica? || The emperor penguin has adapted to the cold very well. Its feathers provide 80-90% of its insulation and its sub-dermal layer of fat which may be up to 3cm thick keeps this bird very warm. In the winter when it is so cold the penguins huddle together for warmth, taking turns to go into the middle. || Type in the content of your page here.

 * **Threats:** || Emperors are preyed upon by Killer Whales, Leopard Seals, and the Giant Petrel. The most dangerous predator is the Leopard Seal that can eat about 15 penguins a day though they usually only catch the weak or the very sick. Healthy penguins can usually out-swim a Leopard Seal. ||
