Some nest in caves. Magellan penguins dig deep burrows. The birds make their nests with whatever they can find - often just stones and grass. Emperor penguins breed on the ice shelves where there is no material for any kind of nest. Most penguin species lay either one or two eggs.
Penguins go back to the same places for breeding year after year.
Most species breed along coastal areas where they can be close to the sea and supply of food, Antarctic penguins, however, might have to travel long distances over frozen seas to reach their rookeries on the edge of the continent. Male and female pairs usually stay together for life. They return to the same nesting place within the colony every year. Parents keep their chicks warm by covering them with their brood patch. Working together, draw an illustration of your nesting site based on what you have learned.
