I was playing “PENGUIN” by Christina Perri.
So thirsty of idea to write, I was curious why it titled ‘penguin’. It must be
that penguin is a faithful animal that this song compared a soul mate to a
penguin. Much less I recalled that penguin is indeed a unique animal so deeper
I google about it.
Penguins are a group of aquatic, flightless
birds living almost exclusively in Antartica. Most penguins form monogamous
pairs for a breeding season that is why it was symbolized as the most faithful
animal in the world. However, research proved that female penguin may have 1-3
couples and male penguin may have 1-2 couples in a breeding season. When female
penguin chooses other couple to breed, it’s usually caused by the male couple
of previous breeding season failed to protect their nest. The other possibility
is if they did not meet in the same time when they supposed to gather in their
nest, then both may get other couples.
Penguins are also romantic animals which have
their own way to propose. When male penguin falls in love to a female penguin,
he would search entire the beach to find a perfect pebble. After finding it, he
would waddle and place the pebble in front of the female penguin. If she picks
the pebble, it means she accepts the proposal. Wow! What a romantic way to
choose a mate for life ^^ (Is it men who copy it from penguins of how they
propose ladies?)
Generally a female penguin produced one egg
and it’s the male’s duty to incubate the egg on his feet. He must keep the egg
warm and safe in winter and never leaves the egg; otherwise the egg will very
soon die. Male penguin will incubate without eating and only live off their fat
reverse which may cause loosing half of his body weight. On the other hand, the
female will go to the sea to eat and collect food in her paunch.
After 4 months, the egg starts to hatch and
the female penguin comes back to meet her male and the baby. She can find them
easily by recognizing the sound of its male among the crowd. It’s now her turn
to take care of their chick and she will feed the baby with the food which she
has been keeping in her paunch.
Although it’s a hard job for both female and
male to lay egg in winter, they are smart to choose perfect time to breed. If
they breed in summer, the chick will hatch in winter when the sea is indeed
frozen and it will be very difficult for them to find food for the baby.
Many things can be learned from penguins: how
they are faithful to their couples and only leave their couples with a
condition; how they sacrifice themselves to raise the baby; and how they are so
well-planned to breed. So, who would be my penguin? ^^
