In Shanghai's Haichang Ocean Park, a group of recently born baby penguins is about to usher in a full moon. After nearly a month of growth, the little ones have grown round and chubby.
In the penguin house's nursery, mother penguins take care of their babies inseparably, while the little ones frolic around. When hungry, the mother penguin will feed the baby in a very special way - rumination.
Penguin conservationist Jin Qiaobo introduced that the mother penguin eats the fish into the stomach, forms a semi-digested state, and then spits it out for the baby penguin to eat. "After semi-digestion, some trace elements will be produced, which can increase nutrition for the baby." Why did she regurgitate like she was going to swallow a baby? Because it is so convenient for the little penguin to eat, the head of the little penguin is completely wrapped in the mouth, and the food is not easy to miss. ”
Although the little penguins are not yet full moon, but the amount of food is not small, they have to eat two meals a day, each meal to eat three to six spring fish, can be described as a real "big stomach king".
Under everyone's careful care, the penguin babies have grown very quickly, and their current weight has reached about three or four pounds, and the furry appearance and waddling steps are cute and cute, bringing happiness to tourists.
