About These Birds
Emperor Penguin
황제펭귄은 모든 펭귄 중 가장 크고 무거운 종이다. 남극 겨울에 번식하며 영하 60도의 혹독한 추위를 견딘다. 수컷이 두 달 이상 알을 품는 동안 먹이 없이 버티는 것으로 유명하다.
Great Tit
The great tit is the largest European tit and one of the most studied wild birds in the world. Research at Wytham Woods in Oxford has monitored great tit populations since the 1940s, contributing enormously to ecology and evolution. These innovative birds famously learned to open milk bottle tops in 20th-century Britain.
