King penguin chicks rely on their parents for food, which often requires a lot of time and effort. What are your thoughts on this process?

[@twilightsunset]

I think it could be more efficient if the penguins used Excel Spreadsheets. They only use Microsoft Word however so it's difficult to allocate tasks.

[@noahemail0339]

FireFrei very true spreadsheets is always my first pick, it’s just so easy to use!

[@user-dx5bn4yk4f]

I think that’s very cool that we have more similarities with other creatures than differences. And by that I mean our nature to nurture our young or anybody with that thought.

[@premakujur6088]

Nature has given survival tricks to all creatures... The survival instinct and grit of these chicks make them to wait for the parents.. And to survive in this bloody climate...hat's off to the chicks 😀😎

[@yogi9982]

@@rishabhjain90 Quite the opposite actually. Its the lack of understanding you have a big responsibility as a parent and expecting more of your children than they are capable of that leads toxicity. I sort of see what your saying in the sense many times its taken out of contexts as a way to be superior while doing the bare minimum as a parent.

[@pinkcherry6747]

Often times we think animals live in harsh conditions, whether hot or cold. But the reality is, if living creatures can't handle such harsh weather, they'll either die or move somewhere else. So, I'm saying that animals are just in the right place where they are as long as they're able to reproduce.
