March of the Penguins
Although, penguins are considered as birds, in fact they’re very different in some ways; such as, they can not fly or make their living in hot weather. Penguins take the long dangerous journey continued over 1000 years. The destination is always the same. Penguins may be assisted by the sun or the stars. They arrive at the same place where each one of them was born.
Far from water’s age, ice stays solid until summer. After the precarious route, penguins look for their partner and create a family among each other. The egg will appear hidden from the cold and the wind until the storm is over. Both mother and father take great care and try to keep their egg alive. The female penguin goes to the sea to find food for its baby. It is definitely exhausted but she forces herself to walk several miles. The search will last for many days. Her life will be in great danger and their predators (seals) will certainly be happy. Though light return, worst is actually yet to come. No matter how cold or hungry it is, it will keep moving.
After many miles, life begins, yet not enough. The penguins’ efforts are not invaded. Occasionally, the family will spend some time together until their egg brakes, the partnership between the male and the female penguin is over.
In time, their little chick, like a child dances, their chick will take its first step. From the sun, the chick grows stronger each day, but yet not strong enough to leave its mother.
As winter begins to weaken, ice melts, returning the borrowed water to the sea. The chick is older now and ready to make living on its own. The chick is left alone for the fist time, unsupervised but will grow stronger everyday.
