Although penguins have wings, they do not use them to fly but to swim. This is because penguins feed on fish and to get to them they have to get into the water. These are usually small schooling fish and squid. Both parents look after their offspring. The female lays the egg and the male incubates it. The egg is hidden in a fold of skin on her belly to prevent it from freezing. During the 60-day incubation period, the male eats nothing. The females, on the other hand, migrate to the sea after laying the egg in order to get enough food. Only when the young have hatched do they return from the sea and replace their breeding partners. In contrast to polar bears, penguins mainly inhabit the southern hemisphere. The largest number of individuals can be found around the Antarctic.
