Antarctica has only two seasons: warm and cold. All year round, it is covered with snow, the wind is howling, and as far as the eye can see, there is a vast wilderness with no grass growing.
In the warm season, glaciers melt and there are many species. The polar day lasts for four months, but the average temperature is still 20 to 30 degrees below zero. Even in coastal areas, the average temperature rarely exceeds zero. In the cold season, the temperature drops sharply, with the lowest even
It reached minus 70 degrees Celsius, the nights were long, and there was no sunlight for four months.
In Antarctica, the most common residents are the large number of penguins.
After the female penguins lay their eggs, they go to the distant seaside to look for food. They spend four months to increase their nutrition in preparation for feeding their babies in the coming year.
Thousands of male penguins sleep on the snow, let the wind roar and the snow and sand blur their eyes.
In order to protect the unborn darlings, they hold them tightly with their two fluffy legs.
In order to keep warm, thousands of penguins are tightly packed together, and the temperature in the middle can reach 20 degrees.
The penguins give full play to their team spirit and will take turns to go outside to keep out the cold.
When the first ray of sunlight appears on the ground, although it is fleeting, it also brings good news, which means that the long cold winter is about to pass and spring is coming.
Some little penguins are born and are waiting for feeding. The male penguin who has not eaten for four months can still secrete a juice similar to fresh milk to feed his babies.
In the days to come, the time the sun stays will increase day by day until the night completely disappears.
The female penguin is back, and the couple reunites with the familiar scent. They have endless love words and endless love between mother and child. They want to choose a blessed place and build a love nest together.
Pebbles are a good building material for penguin nests. Couples search everywhere with eggs or babies, picking them up piece by piece and placing them carefully.
There are not many pebbles on the beach, and thefts happen from time to time.
The female penguin just placed a pebble and turned around to leave.
The thief quickly took it and used it to repair his dwelling.
This scene happened to be seen by the male penguin who had just returned, and he chased after the thief relentlessly and pecked the thief.
The thief had a guilty conscience and threw the stone down and ran away!
After the love nest is built, many couples take turns incubating the eggs that have not yet broken out of their shells. Thirty-three days later, the little penguins hatch out of their shells.
At this time, be extra careful, as white foxes and skuas will take the opportunity to attack the little penguins.
At this time of year, countless little penguins become delicacies for poachers.
In order to protect the baby, the couple took turns foraging for food and were always vigilant.
The baby is born with light gray down, but even in the warm season, it still cannot withstand the cold of minus ten degrees Celsius. It needs parents to keep warm with their bodies.
After a month, when the little penguin's fur coat was thick enough, he was sent to the kindergarten for intensive care.
The baby penguins are growing and need nourishment from seafood.
Mom and dad divide the work and work together. Some take care of the babies, while others jump into the sea to catch fish to eat.
Penguins waddle on land and look cute jumping around. However, once they jump into the sea, they become good swimmers and can catch fish with great agility.
Every time I go out to sea, I come back with a full load.
The little penguin is getting stronger and more naughty.
Eating snowflakes with your head raised is not the right way to fill your stomach, but it is fun.
When I was tired from playing, I lay down on the snow and fell asleep.
The little penguin's milk feathers began to fall off, and the black down was exposed. From a distance, it looked mottled and unsightly.
This is really an embarrassing day, but for the sake of growth, what does this unsatisfactory mean?
The little penguins began to learn fishing with their parents. They were born to be good swimmers and could swim very quickly as soon as they entered the water.
But we should not take it lightly. Even in the season when food is abundant, survival will still be threatened. Whales, sea lions, seals, etc., attacks by these predators are difficult to prevent.
When the little penguins grow up, they can live independently from their parents, and they will each find a favorite partner and then have children.
The days are getting shorter and the long winter is approaching again.
Year after year, the penguin family inhabits this ancient continent to survive and reproduce.
