Penguin Chicks
As soon as the egg is laid (penguins lay
one or two eggs at a time), the female
dashes out for dinner, leaving the male to watch the nest.
When the female returns (it can take up to
two weeks for her to come back) it's the male's turn to head out for
food, leaving the female with the egg.
When the chick hatches, it immediately
starts calling so that its parents will learn to recognize its
voice.
