Emperor penguins are the largest penguin species. The report discusses their reproduction, habitat, swimming abilities, threats, diet, appearance, and lifespan. Emperor penguins live in Antarctica, where they huddle together in groups to stay warm. They face threats from predators like leopard seals and killer whales, as well as from global warming, which causes sea level rise and warmer ocean temperatures.
