Penguins may look cute and cuddly, but they can be tough birds! For example, Emperor penguins live near the brutally cold South Pole, enduring weeks of blistering cold without sunlight. The males tend the eggs in temperatures as low as -75 degrees celsius while the females go hunting for food. The females travel across the ice for miles in order to bring food back for their young.
