The spectacular sight of an Emperor Penguin laying her egg | Penguins: Spy in the Huddle - BBC

Subscribe and 🔔 to the BBC 👉 Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 Filmed for the first time ever an emperor penguin delicately lays her egg to ensure the egg doesn’t touch the ground for too long and freeze. Documentary showing penguins as they have never been seen before. From the Antarctic to the tropics, spy cameras capture unique footage of three extraordinary species. Emperor penguins cross a treacherous frozen sea to reach their breeding grounds, and on the way one becomes lost in a blizzard. Once there, the females flipper-flight over the males and those that succeed waddle-walk with their partners. They must lay their eggs without touching the ice, but it is the males that face the greatest challenge - overwintering alone in the coldest place on earth.
