This week, we have started discussing Emperor Penguins. Any of the following would be great questions to ask at home:
Where do Emperor Penguins live? (Antarctica.)
What do they eat? (Fish, krill, and squid.)
How do these penguins stay warm? (They stand in a huddle and have thick feathers and blubber.)
How many eggs do Emperor Penguins lay? (One.)
Which parent takes care of the egg? (Dad.)
What does the mom do while the dad takes care of the egg and baby? (Hunts for food.)
How do moms feed the babies? (They spit the food up in the baby's mouth.)
What sounds do Emperor Penguins make? (Trumpeting sounds.)
Just for fun: If you could be the daddy, mommy, or baby Emperor Penguin, which would you be and why?
