About These Birds
Emperor Penguin
体型最大、最重的企鹅。在南极冬季零下60摄氏度的环境中繁殖。雄鸟孵卵约65天，期间完全禁食。
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.
