These eggs are fertilized, if you cracked open the egg a dead chick would fall out.

Liked for the profile pic. Also I always think it is the other way around, that Penguins live on the North and nothing lives at the south.

[@an_impasse]

If you don’t know, then you don’t know - you’re seriously going to fault people for not knowing the same things as you because, news flash...they’re _not_ you. In school and up until now I always thought penguins only ever lived in the cold, because that’s the only thing I was ever told and shown, now I see that’s not the case. There’s a clear line between being honest and being a jackass...you’re the latter.

yes penguins are native to Africa and interestingly penguins mostly live in warm climates not cold

[@RajkumarPrajapati]

The African penguin is only found on the south-western coast of Africa, living in colonies on 24 islands between Namibia and Algoa Bay, near Port Elizabeth, South Africa. It is the only penguin species that breeds inAfrica and its presence gave name to the Penguin Islands

[@commonsenselyrics]

I wish these penguins knew how to roll their eggs around...or learn how to build a shaded nest at least. Then leaving a nest for a few mins wouldn't be such a big problem

[@mrjixk]

[@tiahjalahr2370]

I did a project in science on African penguins a while ago! So with most casses the partner left to watch the eggs overheat and they leave to go to the sea. Sometimes a predatory bird gets them and sometimes its the heat. So rangers have built little houses for the penguins. So we had to design a little house and see which one would best prottect the eggs from both predators and the sun.

Leeshane Plays They’re not allowed to interfere. These are wild animals, and this is Mother Nature at her finests. If they had approached to help, as you say, they would’ve startled the penguins. They would’ve left their nests either way, and the eggs would’ve burned to death.

So sad. If the adults that stay behind can communicate and share work it would be better for everyone! If one adult can provide shade for 2 or 3 eggs, they can set up a rotation of providing shade and go cool off somewhere else.

They need to learn how to build shaded nests for their eggs...build a nest that covers the eggs with their beaks

Frozen Viking Now please use your brain. Some arctic region above the equator is the North Pole. Do penguins live there? No, they don't. If anything you'll find them around the South Pole which is below the equator.

[@Apokalypse456]

If he says he has seen them in THE arctic regions he cant have seen them in SOME arctic region. The arctic region is around the northpole. I dont validate either because its just pointless, but you either misread or misunderstood Frozen Viking.

[@Lauren_Helene]

Bird tongues are terrifying

[@incomments2864]

I don’t get it. Penguins choose to live in the most baazar places where their eggs can get killed by the Sun OR by the extreme cold below 0 degrees. Can they just adapt somewhere where life can be easier? They have to deal with predators already at least find a comfortable place to breed and rest geez.
