The Breeding Cycle Of The Emperor Penguin The Breeding Cycle of the Emperor Penguin I decided to do my research paper on the Emperor penguin because I have always liked penguins and I wanted to learn more about them. The Emperor penguin is one of the most unique and largest penguins in the world. Unlike other penguins, Emperor penguins are unique in the fact that they breed in the fall when the bitter winter is around the corner. They don’t make nests for their eggs like birds and the male penguins are the chief incubators of their eggs instead of the females. The females leave and go out into the sea after laying their eggs. "Winter arrives in Antarctica in March. The continent is in the Southern Hemisphere and has seasons that are opposite those in the north. Nearly all creatures leave except for the emperor, the only animal that spends the winter on Antarctica’s open ice. These flightless birds breed in the winter (unlike most birds, which breed in the springtime)." (Hughes, 2002) The penguins have been eating as much as they can from the ocean waters all summer long. They eat krill, squid, and fish.
