Latin description
Aptenodytes forsteri
The Emperor Penguin is the largest penguin species in the world, reaching up to 120 cm in height. It inhabits Antarctica exclusively, enduring temperatures as low as -60 °C. Its unique breeding strategy, where the male protects the egg through the harsh Antarctic winter, makes it a symbol of resilience and adaptation.
