About the emperor penguin

The emperor penguin is the largest living species of penguin, standing over three feet tall and weighing approximately 30 kilograms. It can be distinguished from its close relative, the king penguin, by its size as well as its bright yellow upper chest region, which connects with orange-colored ear-patches on the black head. Additionally, the emperor is characterized by a bright orange bill, and the back contains bluish gray hints, while a nice white stomach enables them to blend into their snowy surroundings. Both the male and the female look alike and share similar colorations. The emperor is the best adapted penguin to the cold polar habitat in which it resides.
