With Jun Qi nearby, nothing will happen.
Xu Qiaoqiao tilted her head, and the chirping sound she made quickly dissipated in the howling blizzard.
However, the intended message was conveyed: Don't be afraid, with you here, there's nothing to fear.
Upon hearing Xu Qiaoqiao's answer, Jun Qi's heart leaped with joy. His eyes crinkled with laughter, and he couldn't help but nuzzle his mother's belly.
"Chirp." Good boy.
The blizzard came suddenly and was quite fierce. In just a few hours, the blizzard engulfed the territory of the emperor penguin colony. At this time, the warmth from their mothers alone was not enough.
Individuals need to integrate into the group, and emperor penguins are animals that rely on group living, which fully highlights this point.
The emperor penguins began to huddle together, seeking shelter in their group. In the 70-mile-per-hour gale, the emperor penguins huddled together quietly, heads bowed, without making a sound, their movements slow.
Everything was so quiet; the only sounds in the air were the howling of the blizzard and the distant sound of the wind cutting through the glacier. It was a truly awe-inspiring collective activity.
They felt safe and warm as they sought shelter from the storm.
For Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi, this was their first time experiencing such a group activity, and when everyone huddled together, they felt an unprecedented warmth.
At this moment, Jun Qi roughly understood what Xu Qiaoqiao meant when she said that emperor penguins are animals that live in groups, so it seems that going it alone is impossible.
I guess I'll be living with these emperor penguins from now on, but I'll still be able to keep a little distance from them most of the time.
As Jun Qi pondered these things, he moved along with his mother, the Emperor Penguin.
The emperor penguins huddled together comfortably. In the center, the temperature could reach 37 degrees Celsius. To lower the temperature, they had to constantly move around and take turns with the emperor penguins on the outside. Otherwise, if the temperature in the center continued to rise, the baby emperor penguins would die from the heat.
The biting cold of the wind and snow kept assaulting them, but it wasn't so bad.
Meanwhile, the emperor penguin fathers in the distance, having filled their bellies with food, are beginning their return journey. Because the blizzard came so suddenly, they have to be extremely careful on their way.
This is also to avoid accidentally falling into any puddles, since the ice is slowly melting as temperatures rise.
Emperor penguin fathers are away for a shorter period than emperor penguin mothers because the warming weather is causing a large amount of ice to melt, which reduces the time they spend walking on land.
About a month later, the emperor penguin fathers will return and feed the baby penguins together with the emperor penguin mothers.
On the day the emperor penguin fathers returned, another blizzard struck. This blizzard lasted all day, and when it finally ended, the emperor penguin fathers slowly emerged from the distant snowfield, standing in a neat row just as they had before they left.
