Shortly after mother penguins lay their eggs, winter comes.
The females leave their nests to the male penguins and go back to
the sea in search of food. In order to keep her egg from freezing, the
father penguin carries it on the tops of his feet. His thick feathers
will protect the egg from the cold.
This is a very difficult period for male penguins, since they
must remain in the exact same
place and cannot forage for
food.
