March of the Penguins

March of the Penguins [HD DVD]

Amazon Price: $19.96 (as of 05/27/2012)Buy Now

March of the Penguins instantly qualifies as a wildlife classic, taking its place among other extraordinary films like Microcosmos and Winged Migration. French filmmaker Luc Jacquet and his devoted crew endured a full year of extreme conditions in Antarctica to capture the life cycle of Emperor penguins on film, and their diligence is evident in every striking frame of this 80-minute documentary.

The Penguin (Sphenisciform)

We all love the cute penguin with its funny waddle and wings that don't fly. The wings work really well under water and that is why they have them. A better name for the wings should be flippers. These interesting birds are know for living in the cold Southern Hemisphere but actually some can be found in the tropics too.

The largest penguin species is the Emperor penguin. They average about 3 ft 7 inches (1.1m) and weight around 35 pounds. (35 kg)
The smallest penguin is the Little Blue Penguin or sometimes called the Fairy Penguin. It averages around 16 inches (40 cm) and weights 2.2 pounds. (1 kg)
The smaller penguins live in warmer climates. The larger ones can retain body heat better and can stand the colder temperatures.

Penguins eat krill, fish, squid and other types of seafood that they can catch. They spend half of their life in the ocean and are awkward on land. They usually use land to raise their chicks and choose a place without many predators, as the chicks don't have much protection.
Penguins tend to trust humans and people studying them can watch without worry that they will disturb the group.
