A group of chicks has got lost in the
0:03
blizzard.
0:10
Reunited at last,
0:15
the mother sees her chick for the first
0:18
time.
0:23
She's keen to start parenting,
0:26
but the father needs persuading to
0:28
surrender the chick he's been caring for
0:30
all winter.
0:36
He must now put his chick at risk. In
0:39
these temperatures, it could freeze in
0:41
seconds.
0:45
The male will have to let go.
0:55
Eventually, the transfer to the mother
0:57
is safely made.
1:13
The chicks grow quickly on a diet of
1:16
fish and squid.
1:31
soon they're keen to explore, but always
1:35
with mother in tow.
1:39
This chick is less fortunate. Its mother
1:42
has not returned to claim it. Another
1:47
orphan is searching for a new family,
1:49
but this female already has a chick of
1:52
her own.
2:01
Some orphans receive too much mothering
2:04
from penguins whose own chicks have not
2:06
survived. The urge to parent is so
2:09
strong that they will compete with one
2:11
another to adopt any chick they find.
2:19
Many of these squables end in tragedy as
2:22
the poor chick is trampled to death.
2:37
Those chicks that do have parents
2:39
quickly learn survival skills.
2:44
Even in spring, they must huddle
2:46
together for warmth, just as their
2:47
fathers did in the depths of winter.
2:54
A group of chicks has got lost in the
2:56
blizzard.
3:04
Cold and disorientated, they search for
3:07
the colony.
3:14
It will not be long before the storm
3:17
claims its first victims.
3:37
By early summer, the chicks are
3:40
surprisingly welldeveloped
3:42
and now look ready to take on the world.
3:48
Those that survive their first year have
3:50
the best possible start in life thanks
3:53
to the extraordinary hardships endured
3:55
by their parents.
