After laying her eggs, the female Emperor penguin passes the egg to her mate, then heads back to sea. She’ll be back in two months to continue her parental duties. During her 2 month absence the male Emperor Penguin devotes himself to incubate a single egg that holds his offspring. Each dad will also care for his chick when it first hatches. Penguin dads do all this while surviving only on fat reserves from the previous summer. Happy Father's Day to all those dads who go beyond what is expected! . . #happyfathersday #gooddads #emporerpenguin #fathersday https://www.instagram.com/p/CQWxtCpBwVC/?utm_medium=tumblr

Otra espectacular foto para el #diadelpadre, esta vez de nuestra cuenta hermana @adictoalatam . . . Reposted from @adictoalatam #diadelpadre . . Antártica . . Reposted from @franslanting Male emperor penguins are heroic symbols of fatherhood. After female emperors lay their eggs in the middle of the brutal Antarctic winter, their male partners take over incubation duty while the females go back to sea to replenish themselves. A male emperor incubates his precious egg by balancing it on his feet and he covers it with a brood flap to keep it warm. It takes up to two months for the eggs to hatch and during that period the prospective fathers do not eat or drink. By the time the chicks are born the males may have lost up to a third of their body weight. I spent a month camping on sea ice next to an emperor penguin colony in the Weddell Sea to document the parenting saga of these amazing birds on assignment for @NatGeo. I share this image in celebration of Fathers Day!
