Most male penguins will lose about 26 lbs while they wait for their chick to hatch.The starting weight of males at the beginning of the breeding season is 84 lbs and that of females is 65 lbs.After the breeding season this drops to 51 lbs for both sexes. Emperor Penguins, are considered the most beautiful of all penguins.
