They have to overcome the challenge of starvation and predators.
How does their habitat challenge their livelihood each day?
On some days its super cold and others its not as cold, and then there could be a big snow storm.
What types of adaptions do penguins need in order to survive brutal winters and predators?
They need to all stick together because in the cold they can keep each other warm and if a predator comes to attack them, they can all fight them off.
Why is there a period of time in which there is practically no sunlight? How does this effect the climate?
Its because they are so far up in the south pole, the sun can't always shine all the way there.
Why is it important that the ground be frozen solid during the moths of breeding?
If the ground isn't frozen solid while breeding the little baby penguins could fall through the ground and into the water and die.
How could climate change negatively impact the mating ritual of the Emperor Penguins?
The climate change could negatively impact the mating ritual because the weather could make the ice start melting and the sea water would rise. With no ice they would dire and eventually become extinct.
