Penguine

The largest of the penguin species, the male Emperor stands over forty inches at adulthood and weighs as much as eighty-five pounds, and the female is a bit smaller. Its coloring is similar to the King penguin with blackish head, bluish-dark gray back and white belly with yellow at the ears and throat. Because the species can dive as deep as 700 feet, staying under water for more than fifteen minutes at a time, Emperors dine on larger species than other penguins along with the normal penguin diet of crustaceans, small fish and squid.

Emperors may travel up to sixty miles over ice to reach their breeding grounds in March or April. Here they produce one egg each year. By the time the female is ready to lay her egg in May after a two month gestation period, temperatures have plummeted to -80F and winds reach over 100 miles an hour. It is the male that protects the egg during its entire two-month incubation while the female returns to the sea to feed, fasting for over three months and sacrificing almost half of his body weight to the cause. A nest is not necessary. He keeps the precious egg warm by balancing it on his feet and covering it with a fold of his ample abdominal skin. After the chick hatches, parents take turns with feedings and tending the hatchlings together, before the colony forms the crèche. Come spring as the ice melts, in December and January, when the chicks are old enough to hold their own, the colony returns to the sea.

The Emperor is one of just two species that lives on the sea ice that surrounds mainland Antarctica and is the only one to breed here during the harsh Antarctic winter. It breeds in such places as Enderby, Dronning Maud Land and Princess Elizabeth Land in East Antarctica. The movie was filmed near the French research station on Petral Island in the Adelie Land region of the continent.

Emperors live year-round in the waters of Antarctica, in about forty separate colonies, mostly south of the Atlantic Convergence. The largest concentration is found in the Ross Sea. Colonies exist in locations along both sides of the Antarctic Peninsula including the Dion Islands in Marguerite Bay on the west side and on the east side where a colony of 4,000 breeding pairs was recently discovered at Snow Hill Island. Visitors on Antarctica tours may spot Emperors in the waters between the South Orkney and South Shetland islands or in the Branfield Strait between the Shetlands and the Antarctic Peninsula, though these waters are north of their range.

The Emperor is not considered endangered. An estimated 200,000 to 225,000 pairs inhabit Antarctica, an increase of 50% since the 1970s when a prolonged warming trend dramatically reduced the size of their breeding grounds.

 Great Blue Heron

THE GREAT BLUE HERON (Ardea herodias) is a large wading bird in the heron family Ardeidae, common near the shores of open water and in wetlands over most of North America and Central America as well as the Caribbean and the Galápagos Islands. It is a rare vagrant to Europe, with records from Spain, the Azores, England and the Netherlands. An all-white population found only in the Caribbean and southern Florida was once treated as a separate species and known as the great white heron.

Chakoor

Chakoor

Chakoor is a chunky 32-35 cm long bird of amazing color scheme like brown back, grey breast, and sandy color belly. While the face is white and legs are red. Its tail consists of 14 feathers.

Chakor belongs to the pheasant family Phasianidae and is native of Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Nepal, Turkey and Kashmir range. It is also connected to its western tantamount, the Red-legged Partridge, Alectoris Rufa. Normally their territories are rocky open hillsides and mainly they are found at an altitude of 2000 to 4000 m. But in Pakistan they are also observed at 600m. They do not live in humid and rainy areas. Usually Chakor travels in groups of 5 to 30 and the groups are called coveys. They like wide variety of seeds and insects as food and sometimes they also swallow the dust particles. The seeds of Eragrostis in Kashmir are their favorite diet.

In the breeding season the female lays 8 to 20 eggs in total and 1 egg per day throughout the captivity period. Their nest is a scantily lined ground scrape protected by shrubs and small brambles. Normally their nests exist on hilly slopes with rocky offshoots, above streams. Nesting Chakor may be seen within 3 km of water. It is specially known for its surgical upward flights and quick vanishing in the hills and trees. Due to their remote existence they are not threatened due to hunting but inappropriate weather patterns can be harmful for their population.
