ikr? their little penguin brains must have been so shocked! "I don't know how we did it, but we did it! yay!"

Inca has apparently taken to the maternal role, perching upon the egg all day, while Ryas has assumed a more paternal role.

Wait, penguins of both genders commit to incubation duty (usually while the other is out feeding.) so how is caring for the egg strictly a maternal role?

[miischelle]

yah....isn't it the paternal role is some species?

[clevermanka]

Yep. Like, you know, penguin species. Emperor penguins, anyway.

Jeez. Didn't these people see Happy Feet?
