The Emperor penguin is the heaviest and tallest penguin in Antarctica.

Emperor penguin chicks are tiny when they hatch, weighing only 150g-200g with a thin layer of down to keep them warm.

It takes penguin chicks 50 days to develop the ability to regulate their own body temperature.

During the chick-rearing period, there’s a hive of activity in the penguin colony.

Parent penguins take it in turns to raise their offspring until they can stand on the ice by themselves.

Chicks have grown a thick layer of down and are growing fast - meaning they are very hungry.
