About This Item
Macmillan Company of Australia, South Melbourne - 1987 hardcover, 8½" x 6" (21.5cms x 15cms), with dust jacket VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket This is the first book ever to tell the complete story of penguin life and history (and is ideal as a reference and for sheer pleasure!). The penguin has become superbly adapted to life at sea, coming ashore only to breed in 'rookeries' of thousands or millions of birds. They mate for life, and in the fierce Antarctic winter the Emporer penguin will fast up to three months while he incubates a single egg. Although most people think of them as Antarctic birds, they are widely distributed in the Southern Hemisphere and indeed one species has colonised the Galapagos Island on the equator. Extensively illustrated with drawings, charts and colour photographs.
