Did you know that daddy penguins help take care of the eggs? When the mommy penguin lays an egg, she needs to go find food. During this time, the daddy penguin holds the egg on top of his feet. He keeps the egg safe and warm using a special flap of skin called a "brood pouch" that covers the egg. This way, the egg doesn't get cold in the icy weather. Daddy penguins stay this way for many days, taking care of the egg until it hatches into a baby penguin. Isn't that amazing?
