A life of a penguin is really harsh. First, they are born in a deadly cold environment, literally. It takes a moment of carelesness and the egg they're in will freeze and crack. Only with the utmost care of the parents will the egg be safe and has a chance of survival. Second, it takes the effort of the whole group to survive the ice-cold winter. Standing shoulder to shoulder, every single penguin contributes to the survival of each and every one in the so-called huddle. By giving their warmth, they protect themselve from the cold wind and low temperature. Every penguin takes their turn to be inside the huddle and warm themselve up a bit. It's a process that goes on for month until the female penguins come back from their hunt for food. Not everyone will survive. It is tough. Even after they survive the winter, if the female penguins come back without food the baby penguins won't survive. And everything will be for nothing. The life of a penguin. The cold reality of nature.
