	Emperor Penguin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri), at between 1.27 (3 ft 11 in) and 1.6 metres tall and 34 kilograms in mass, is the tallest and heaviest of all living penguin species.
		The Emperor Penguin should not be confused with the closely related King Penguin or the Royal Penguin.
		In May or June, the female penguin lays one 450 gram (1 lb) egg, but at this point her nutritional reserves are exhausted and she must immediately return to the sea to feed.

	Ladywildlife's Emperor Penguin Page
		Although the emperor penguins is a marine bird and feeds exclusively at sea, its breeding sites, called rookeries, are usually situated on the solid ice under the shelter of an ice cliff, often many miles inland.
		The emperor penguins body shape is also a heat saving adaptation; it is blueberry and carried low to the ground, so less cold air can circulate around it.
		Underwater Adaptations of the Emperor Penguin: Unable to fly and ungainly on land, the emperor penguin is most at home on and under the water.

	Digimorph - Aptenodytes forsteri (Emperor Penguin)
		Penguins in general (see also Spheniscus demersus, the jackass penguin) are highly derived avians with no clear relatives among other living birds, although most studies suggest that they are related to one among a number of seabirds.
		Emperor penguins are unique in being the largest living penguins (averaging 120 cm in height), with the most southerly of all penguin ranges.
		Emperor penguins eat mainly krill, fish, and squid, and breed far inland during the Antarctic winter (Williams, 1995).
