Here's how it's done!. Gentoo Penguins, Antarctica
Just as teachers shape minds and futures, nature too offers its own ways of passing knowledge. Nestled in the rocky landscapes of the Antarctic Peninsula and Antarctic islands, gentoo penguin hatchlings, born in pairs, witness an intricate tale of dedication from their parents. The father and mother raise them in a bonded, monogamous pair, bringing food back to the stony nest they have built together. After being fed and raised for 30 days, the chicks join a crèche or nursery for safety and to learn social behaviour. Penguin parents and their community pass on their wisdom through the language of survival.
