LaoPenguins take turns incubating their eggs, with both parents sharing the responsibility. Once the chicks hatch, both parents continue to care for them, regurgitating food to feed them and keeping them warm. Penguins also form creches where the chicks gather in groups for protection and warmth while the adults are out at sea hunting for food.
