I probably should have said that the temperature in captivity isn't likely to be the same as that in Antarctica. I might be wrong, but I don't see them dropping the temperature to -70 degrees or whatever in captivity.

- genezeta 3y agoCaptivity environments for Emperor penguins are kept around 0C (32F), which is easy to do. Your fridge can do it. In Antarctica, they usually live on the coast, where average temperatures are around -10C to 10C, not as extreme as in the interior (-40 to -60C).
