Chapter 22: The Mysterious Penguin Egg (8)
Fursco steered the sleigh cautiously and slowly approached the emperor penguin colony. Millie stared nervously at the emperor penguins, and she could feel the intense aura emanating from them. The little penguins, on the other hand, are increasingly excited, seem to smell their companions, and are eager to be reunited with their parents.
Fosco slowed down the sled, trying not to make too much noise so as not to disturb the emperor penguins. As they get closer to the colony of emperor penguins, they can clearly see the orange feathers that shine like crowns behind their ears, adding to the mystical aura of these creatures. However, the emperor penguins do not seem to be aware of their approach, and are still walking and foraging for food.
At that moment, Vicco quietly opened the door, and the little penguin jumped off the sleigh and staggered towards the emperor penguin colony. It screamed excitedly as it ran. Fosco and Millie look nervously at the little penguin, fearing that it will get too close to the emperor penguin and cause them to panic. However, the emperor penguins did not appear to be alarmed by the arrival of the little penguin, they watched the little penguin, and some even took the initiative to come up and touch it gently with their beaks.
Suddenly, an emperor penguin slipped over the ice, slid up to the little penguin, looked down at it, screamed while touching the little penguin with its beak, and then hugged it tightly with its wings, put the little penguin on the top of its wide feet, and gently stroked the little penguin's feathers with its beak.
This scene fascinated Vico and the others, and the little penguin finally found his parents. And they never imagined that these kings of Antarctica would be so gentle.
Lan Nieu was a little moved and wanted to cry, "Great, the little penguin has finally found its parents, this picture is so warm!" Millie agreed, "Well, the little penguin must be happy, and I hope it grows up happily." ”
Vico looked at the scene in front of him and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. "Little penguin, you must be obedient in the future, don't leave your parents again." Vico whispered, as if telling the little penguin about his feelings.
Fusco looked at Vico, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes, and he patted Vico's shoulder lightly, trying to comfort him. Millie watched the scene with a smile on her face, and she thought it was so amusing for Vico and Fursco's appearance.
At this moment, the emperor penguin suddenly turned its head and looked at Vico and the others. There seemed to be a kind of gratitude in its eyes, as if to thank them for sending the little penguin back.
Time passed in such a happy way, and Vico was leaving. They said goodbye to the little penguin and watched it stand still and watch them leave. Their hearts are full of emotion, but also full of joy.
Because they know that the little penguin has found its home, found its parents, and found its happiness. And they're going home, too.
Millie's Tips:
Hello everyone, I'm Millie, and I'm going to share it today - Penguin!
Penguins are the iconic creatures of Antarctica, and there are a total of 18 species of penguins known all over the world, most of which live in the southern hemisphere of the earth, and they are often considered to be a cute image, with black and white feathers and a round body. In fact, penguins are very adapted to cold climates, and they are able to survive and breed in extreme cold conditions. Although they are birds, they do not fly, and their wings have evolved into a tool that helps them swim and hunt in the water, so they swim relatively fast and feed mainly on krill, squid, and small fish.
Antarctica is the region with the largest number of penguins on the planet, with about 120 million penguins living in Antarctica, mainly eight species of penguins, namely emperor penguins, king penguins, Adélie penguins, gentoo penguins, hatband penguins, rock jumping penguins (northern rock jumping penguins, southern rock jumping penguins), Magellanic penguins, and Marconi penguins. But not all penguins live in cold regions, and there are a few penguin species that live in other areas. For example, the Galapagos penguin is the only penguin species that lives in the tropics near the equator.
Penguins are very social animals, and they usually come together to live in large groups. These colonies can consist of hundreds or even thousands of penguins, which breed, feed, and swim together.
When the penguins gather together, the temperature in the center can reach more than 40 degrees Celsius, so you can use each other's body temperature to keep warm.
