Emperor penguins, with their characteristic

white and black tuxedo-like fur pattern, have been

popularized in cartoons and plush toys for
decades, but the 2005 National Geographic
Society film "March of the Penguins" showed the
harsh reality of their life on South Pole. The
penguins lay their eggs inland, to take advantage
of the durable solid ice layer. Three other species
of closely related penguins also inhabit South
Pole, Chinstrap, Gentoo and Adélie, though these
species remain closer to the water during their
breeding season.
