A Penguin Chick's Brave First Steps | Penguins: Meet the Family | BBC Earth (Level 1)

A baby penguin takes his first steps on the snow. His dad watches him carefully. The chick has special feet that do not freeze on the ice. He walks around to make new friends. This is important for his life in the group. However, it is dangerous to go too far. Some adult penguins who lost their own babies try to steal him. This can be violent, but the chick escapes. The weather is also a big problem because it changes very fast. The chick does not have warm adult feathers yet. If he stays in the cold too long without his parents, he will not survive. He calls for his dad with a special sound. His voice is unique. The dad hears him even through the loud wind. The chick goes back to his dad to get warm.
