Adélie penguins build nests by scooping out areas in the ground. The female usually lays two eggs in the nest. Adélie penguin eggs hatch in December.

In the Antarctic winter, the Adélie penguins live at sea. Both parents care for the eggs. While one stays behind keeping the eggs warm and safe from predators, the other parent swims into the sea to eat. They feast mainly on krill, tiny shrimplike animals, but also eat fish and squid.

Parents take turns caring for their youngsters after they hatch until the chicks are about three weeks old. At that point, both parents may leave to forage for food while the chicks gather in the safety of a large group of other young penguins. These groups of young Adélies are called crèches.

Giant panda lives in the dense bamboo forests in the mountains of southwestern China. It is one of the world's rarest mammals. Only about 1,500 of these black-and-white relatives of bears survive in the wild. 

Pandas eat almost nothing but bamboo shoots and leaves. Occasionally they eat other vegetation, fish, or small animals, but bamboo accounts for 99 percent of their diets. Pandas eat fast, they eat a lot, and they spend about twelve hours a day doing it. The reason is that they digest only about 1/5 of what they eat. Overall, bamboo is not very nutritious. To stay healthy, they have to eat a lot.

An adult female panda weighs 200 pounds. Pandas can climb as high as 13,000 feet and are also very good swimmers. Sometimes male pandas relax by doing handstands against trees.
