In The Amazing Teamwork of Emperor Penguin Parents, host Andy Day journeys to Antarctica where emperor penguin fathers sit patiently with their egg on their feet for two months while the mothers fish for food. When the penguin parents are reunited, the egg has hatched and the mother takes over babysitting while the father goes to feed. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Andy’s Baby Animals, in which Andy Day explores the lives and experiences of baby animals.
In Penguin Parents' Epic Journey to Feed Their Chicks, narrator Sir David Attenborough describes how chinstrap penguins in Antarctica travel very far to hunt for krill, but the real challenge is getting the food back to their babies on the steep, muddy rim of Deception Island. After battling powerful currents and a slippery climb, the penguins use their excellent hearing to find their chicks in a colony of over 150,000. Once they deliver the krill, the other parent heads out to sea to repeat the journey. This video is excerpted from BBC's Life, a show that explores the remarkable strategies animals and plants use to ensure their survival.
In King Penguins Parents Brave a Perilous Trek, narrator Sir David Attenborough explains that chicks are bred on isolated Marion Island in the polar sea. Parents return from days of fishing and brave a trek past elephant seals to feed their young. This video is excerpted from BBC's Planet Earth, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
