When the penguins huddle together to keep warm, will the outermost penguins freeze to death?

Penguins are actually very cute animals, and you can see them at the zoo on a regular basis. Very few organisms survive in Antarctica, where temperatures are very low, but penguins do. When the penguins huddle together to keep warm, will the outermost penguins freeze to death?

Usually, everyone can see penguins on ** or **, and everyone may think that penguins are very cute. There are a total of 18 species of penguins in the world, some of which can survive and reproduce in the cold Antarctic region, and penguins will come to the Antarctic region around March every year, and find their mates here to raise their offspring together. In May, male and female penguins mate and hatch their young.

There is a reason why penguins can survive in Antarctica, the temperature in Antarctica is very low, but these penguins will not freeze to death. Because penguins have their own way of coping, this method is to huddle together to keep warm, and every time there is a snowstorm in Antarctica, these penguins will all gather together and then form a circle to fight the cold weather. At this time, the internal temperature of the penguin colony can even reach 37, which is enough to resist the cold, but everyone may think that the temperature in the outer circle is very low, so many people are afraid that the penguins outside will freeze to death, in fact, these penguins will be replaced in turn, so that the penguins can get a higher temperature.

Therefore, although the penguins are not big, the penguins are actually very smart, so these penguins can resist the cold of the Antarctic region. Therefore, when the penguins huddle together to keep warm, they will often move their positions so that the penguins outside will not freeze to death.

The outermost penguins don't actually freeze to death, because they are constantly adjusting their positions, and the penguins that are outside are not always outside. I have to say that these animals are really very smart.

The outermost penguin will not freeze to death, because the outer penguin feathers are very thick, and the fat content is also very high, although there is some cold in the outermost layer, but it will not freeze to death.

No, because the penguin colony is constantly moving. Peripheral penguins enter the interior of the penguin colony.

In nature, many animals live in groups. Some groups are formed by random aggregations of animals, and some are social groups with complex relationships. Animals choose to live in groups for many purposes.

For warm-blooded animals such as birds and mammals that live in cold environments, one benefit of living in groups is that they can stay together to keep warm, conserve energy, and survive the harsh winter together. According to statistics, living in groups of animals can reduce energy consumption by 8% to 53%.

The coldest place on Earth is Antarctica in the Southern Hemisphere. It is covered with a thick layer of snow and ice throughout the year, with an average thickness of 1,700 meters. Three-quarters of the sun's energy is reflected back into the sky, and the temperature on the ground is very low.

Emperor penguins, which live in extreme cold, are an example of an animal that gathers together for warmth. Not only do they live on the continent all year round, but what is even more surprising is that they choose to start reproducing in the harshest climatic conditions.

When penguins huddle together to keep warm, do the outermost penguins freeze to death? In fact, in the process of huddling together to keep warm, the penguins will maintain a certain small step, moving slowly throughout the process, and almost every half minute or so, the penguins outside will be wrapped inside. You look at this, what do you say the penguins inside don't want to come out?

In fact, don't worry, due to the accumulation of heat, the middle can reach more than 30 degrees Celsius, which makes the penguins in the middle feel too hot, so the penguins inside will want to stand outside. The strategy of staying together for warmth is mainly to continue the penguin population, and the typical penguin is the emperor penguin.

When it's really cold, penguins huddle together to keep warm. At this time, the outermost penguins are subjected to winds of up to 100 kilometers per hour, and for the survival of the species, will they freeze to death? And how do penguins decide who keeps warm in the outermost colony?

The most typical example is the emperor penguin, which not only lives in Antarctica all year round, but also chooses to breed in the harshest weather. To be sure, penguins are highly adapted to cold climates, with bushy wings and fat. It's all part of keeping out the cold, especially for the biggest emperor penguins.

In the process of huddling together to keep warm, the outermost penguin will not freeze to death, because the penguin itself has a strong ability to keep out the cold, and the outermost penguin will also change the package back and forth, which will generate heat and will not be frozen to death.

There is a clear space between heaven and earth. Many times, they can't tell the difference between the earth and the sky, and they can't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest. Even the penguins on the outer layer felt too hot.

In places below fifty or sixty degrees in Antarctica, the penguins in the outer layer are directly attacked by cold winds. Why didn't they freeze to death?

Based on the direction and speed of movement, the speed of movement is not fast, but it is enough to ensure that each penguin has enough time to warm up inside. The real reason for exchanging from the inside out is not to make the other warm all penguins in general. In fact, there are many species of penguins in Antarctica, including Adélie penguins, hat penguins, king penguins, etc., but only emperor penguins play this seemingly boring but difficult and hot game, not Zhidi's Zhiwang jacket is stronger, and it is for sea water bathing, it will not get wet on the shore, and the body can stay dry after the water comes out!

If the mother penguin has an accident, the father penguin can't attack it because he can't take his puppy to the far away ice in search of food. Of course, abandoned cubes can still eventually get other animal body structures. Other penguid dads who have lost their babies are desperate to have a baby penguin back.

Even businesses that die as a result of competition for adoption rights are thousands of meters, tens or even hundreds of kilometers away from the frozen ocean. This is not the migration of penguins, but the expansion of the ice in winter. It looks like the penguins went to the heart of Antarctica!

Male penguins always carry their eggs on their necks, close to their abdomen. During breeding, the penguin's abdomen forms a burial spot, and the blood vessels at the burial point increase, which will help to transmit body temperature to the egg or cube after hatching. There are about 20 known penguin species, including emperor penguins, capband penguins, golden penguins, Adélie penguins, king penguins, and in the Southern Hemisphere, with the Antarctic land as the center, distributed in South America, Oceania and islands along the highway.

Whether the outermost layer of the penguins in a group for warmth will freeze to death, this depends on the penguins, how they are coordinated, if it is long-term, it has always been the periphery of Na Shen, and the penguins are outside, this will most likely be frozen to death, but if it is said that the inside of the rotation is warm, and then replace the outside to keep out the cold, this can survive.

The outermost layer of penguins that huddle together for warmth will not be frozen to death, because because they huddle together for warmth, their temperature will transfer heat to each other, so although the penguins outside are on the outermost, they will not freeze to death.

The penguin that huddles for warmth likes to have a relatively low temperature, but it will not freeze to death, because the temperature can be slowly warmed up, and the outermost layer of it is said that the temperature is slightly colder, but it will not freeze to death. Of course not, otherwise penguins would have been endangered or extinct long ago. Although the penguin huddle team looks very large, in fact, this team is also constantly moving.

The penguin colony will maintain a certain number of small steps, so that the whole group moves slowly, moving at a speed of about 10 centimeters a minute, and this movement can alternately change the position of the outer penguins, so that each penguin has a chance to come to the middle to escape the cold.

Thousands of penguins snuggle together, and the innermost temperature can reach more than 30, while the average temperature in Antarctica is basically around 20, and it is possible to be less than 40 when it is cold. In this way, the temperature difference between the innermost and outermost layers of the penguin is 50, and with the possibility of high winds in Antarctica, the temperature difference will only be higher and not less. So every 30 seconds or 1 minute or so, the penguins will change positions, the outermost penguin will squeeze in, and the penguins inside will walk out, so that the same penguin will not freeze in the outermost layer all the time.

In fact, we don't have to worry about it at all, taking emperor penguins as an example, when the pile is over, the emperor penguins will still continue to move, and through this seemingly random movement, the outer layer of emperor penguins can also be changed to the inside. The research team found that every 30 to 60 seconds, the entire penguin team will have a "transposition".

Emperor penguins not only have the appearance of a gentleman in a tuxedo, they also have gentlemanly manners and order. According to infrared thermal sensing technology, although the body surface temperature (except for the eyes) is much lower than the outside air temperature, the penguin's internal body temperature is actually maintained at 39.

This is because the penguin's outer feathers are fluffy and insulating, which can effectively resist the introduction of cold temperatures from the outside world. The inner layer of the penguin has fine and dense hairs, which can effectively prevent temperature leakage. They are reluctant to push each other even in a bunch, because pushing will cause their outer feathers to be squeezed, destroying the warmth effect.

**。So, when a penguin moves in either direction, the emperor penguin next to it must move with it to keep an appropriate distance, which triggers a random movement of the whole.

What's even more interesting is that the whole penguin pack moves not only because the emperor penguins on the outside want to switch to the inside, but also because the emperor penguins inside the pile also want to move to the outside because it's so hot inside.

Studies have shown that the internal temperature of a large pile formed by thousands of emperor penguins can even reach more than 30 degrees Celsius, which is too hot for emperor penguins!

**。If the pile formed by the emperor penguin huddle is too large, the random movement cannot well meet the heat dissipation needs of the internal emperor penguins, in this case, the pile formed by the huddle will disperse after maintaining it for a period of time.

According to the statistics of the relevant team, the vast majority of emperor penguins will maintain a group heating time of about 50 minutes, and the emperor penguins that are crowded inside and are not convenient to move quickly will even be so hot that they will lie on the ground and nibble on a few mouthfuls of snow to cool down.

Will the outermost layer of penguins huddled together for warmth freeze to death? No, when it is cold in Antarctica, penguins will gather together to keep warm, and as the temperature decreases, more and more penguins gather, and they are getting closer and tighter, and the reason why the outermost penguins will not freeze to death is due to several reasons:

1) Penguins** have thick fat, can not eat for more than 100 days, but also resist the cold wind of Antarctica, the outermost penguin can also hold on to a period of time in the extreme cold, after it can't hold on, it will drill hard and change other penguins to the outside;

2) The penguin colony will maintain a certain small step, moving slowly as a whole, moving at a speed of about ten centimeters a minute, which can alternately change the position of the outer penguins, so that each penguin has the opportunity to come to the middle to escape the cold;

3) Due to the accumulation of heat, the middle can reach more than 30, which will make the penguins in the middle feel too hot, so the penguins in the middle often stick out their heads to dissipate heat, or move to cool themselves, so that the penguin colony gradually disperses, and the outer penguins have the opportunity to squeeze in;

It is in this cooperative way that the penguin colony is able to survive in the extremely cold Antarctic.

Will the outermost layer of penguins huddled together for warmth freeze to death? In fact, I think that the outermost layer of penguins that huddle together for warmth will not be frozen to death, because penguins are very smart, and when they huddle together for warmth, they will constantly change positions with each other. Therefore, the outermost penguin will also be replaced inside, so that each penguin can be kept warm, so of course, the outermost penguin will not be frozen to death.

Penguins huddled for warmth in the outermost layer.

There is no real possibility of freezing to death.

Penguins are constantly moving around during the coldest period.

So the outer layer to the inner layer.

The inner layer and the outer layer are exchanged in turn.

That way everyone won't get too cold.

Each penguin is able to maintain a certain temperature.

That's definitely not going to happen, maybe the most important part of them is warmer, so the most important part of the penguins won't freeze to death, they will survive, and the outside will.

The outermost layer of penguins that huddle together for warmth will not be frozen to death, because penguins are very smart, and after huddling together for warmth, they will change positions with each other. So the outermost penguin will also be swapped inside, so that the rotation is repeated over and over again, so that each penguin can be kept warm.

No, penguins are covered with thick hairs and small fluff that are invisible to the naked eye. There is also a very thick fat under the skin, and in the severe cold of dozens of degrees below zero, he will keep himself warm, not to mention that they are social animals, when the north wind is howling, they huddle together and use their body temperature to warm other penguins. In this way, fat, hair, and small spaces bring warmth to them.
