i will protect you
apparently penguins are one of the only monogamous animals on the planet, most of them sticking with one partner for life. in fact the last time i saw them, the guide said that often if their partner dies, the other penguin stops eating and dies as well. but since i've got you with penguin facts, check this one out: these penguins can dive down to 20m and hold their breath for 5 minutes. but even more impressive than that, emperor penguins, the biggies in antarctica, can go down to over 500m holding their breath for 20 minutes. they have a special type of blood that can store more oxygen and their heart slows down to 5 beats per minute when they do these long dives. what else, oh yeah, they're masters of disguise as well.
