March of the Penguins

¡Hola!
Last week I saw a movie named “March of the Penguins”. It was about EMPEROR PENGUINS. It was said that, they live in Antarctica. The surface of Antarctica is about 98% of ice. Emperor Penguins population is estimated about 40.000. Their weight is 70 lbs & its height is 3 ft and 8 inches. They walk 1.7mph. 75% of the time they are in the water. They live for 20 years. Their feather, white & black is to protect them from predators.
We think penguins look funny but they look regal & are curious. They walk in line to avoid falling. The older penguins lead the way.
Their reproduction time is in June. After egg laying, the female passes the egg to the male and it goes to get food for the newborn. If it doesn’t return when the other mother penguins return, the father leaves its newborn alone & goes to get food. If the mother return’s the father passes the newborn to the female. Father penguins take care of the egg. If it touches the ice, the egg will be broken. So they always keep the egg in their legs. If the egg breaks or if the penguins lose their egg their relationship breaks up. The directors were there for 13 months to shoot this film. This is a very good movie. I liked it very much.
