months, he moves about
wi th the egg be tween
his feet . This is why he
i s unab l e t o go
hun t i ng and r ema i n s
hungry. The weather is
v e r y c o l d . When t he
wea t he r
be c ome s
unbea r ab l y c o l d , a l l t he
ma l e pengu i ns get together
e v en i f t he y a r e ca r r y i ng egg s
between thei r feet . They come c lose
to each other, forming a circle, and
in this way, they warm each other up.
They continuously switch positions so
that the ones left outside the circle
can a l so become warm. Jus t as the
egg is about to hatch, the mother penguin returns
from hunting. She feeds her baby with the food that
she has stored in her throat . To prevent the baby
from freezing, the mother and father penguins
car ry i t i n between the i r feet and keep i t
warm wi th the fur of the i r abdomen . As
you can see, Al lah has given these lovely
creatures some exquisite features . Al lah
has created the penguin with a body that
protects i t from the cold, and has al so
made it very devoted. Because they are so
ded i cat ed , they take wonde r fu l car e of
their offspring. This feature has been given
to the pengu i ns mi l l i ons of years ago . The
pengu i ns that have l i ved before and the ones
that are l iving now have not changed a bit when it
comes to the devotion that they display.

When penguins go
hunting, they leave their
young in this position. The
young penguins that keep
close together don't become
cold.
