In March, Emperor Penguins must walk for 70 miles to reach the breeding land. The whole purpose of this journey is to find a mate. Penguins are monogamous, meaning they mate with one partner per year. The ratio of females to males is 3:2, which creates competition between the females in finding a mate. After a female finds a mate, the female lays an egg after 8 short months. The egg is kept in a pouch by her feet to keep it warm, since the temperature drops in May. Since the females lose a third of their body weight, they must return to the sea 70 miles away to find food for themselves and their young. The egg is transferred to the male's pouch and kept there for three months while the female finds food. The temperature in Antarctica drops to -80 degrees Fahrenheit and males continue to function without food for 125 days. For three months, the male waits patiently with the egg, keeping it warm. To keep the egg warm, the males huddle together into tight formations consisting of hundreds or even thousands of penguins. Finally, the egg hatches. In August, the female makes a distinct noise to locate the male and chick, since there are thousands of penguins in the area. The chick is then fed, and now it is the father's turn to return back to sea to capture food. They have lost half of their body weight and must walk 70 miles to return to the sea. September has arrived, which is when the ice starts to melt on the continent. This causes the length between the sea and the breeding ground to condense down to 100 yards. This signals the time when the family parts to go their separate ways. When the chicks are 150 days old, they are ready to live on their own. The mother and father will never see their chick again. The cycle begins again when the Emperor Penguins head back to the sea for 3 months to live and feed. The chicks live at sea for four years, climb out of the water, and march to the breeding ground when it becomes cold again.
