March of the Penguins

As each day passes while every people around the globe lives for their own existence, business, and affair, an important harsh ritual for survival of emperor penguins takes place. It's quite unimaginable for this reproduction to happen in Antarctica, where emperor penguins breed on the sea ice in the coldest conditions of the Earth. Emerging from a mass of indistinguishable penguin bodies are the affective bonds between potential male and female mates, between attentive fathers and the eggs that they will take care, and between traveling mothers and the newborns to which they return.

The emperor penguins can be related to humans. Similar to humans, they have remarkable social system that allows them to survive for the thriving of their species. This is an ideal example of the kind of everyday practical adaptivity that humans are capable of. Emperor penguins can also be resembled with that of humans with respect to their specific significant and incredible intelligence and action. Just like humans, emperor penguins with their instinctive behavior do all the necessary actions to ensue with survival and reproduction. Emperor penguins are serially monogamous. They have only one mate each year, and keep faithfully to that one other penguin. They travel about 90 km inland to reach the breeding site and they start courtship. Queries like how can two prospective female and male penguins met each other from multitudes of other penguins is one worth knowing. This is due to some sort of affinity that links them together to mate and produce an offspring for the continued existence of their kind. This is also true for human beings because two persons who are going to be wife and husband, boyfriend and girlfriend don't often know each other until they met among many people. With humans, certain criterions are considered and maybe they could have something in common which leads to their attraction for each other.

Just like David Hume's dues ex machina where human beings can be considered as machines and so the things that they do are restricted to boundaries. That is, people living in a world with borders and controls. Emperor penguins tolerate the harsh climate of Antarctica just to sustain their species by breeding, raising young, and eating through a number of adaptations. These penguins are limited to doing this. According also to Hume, better God should delegate or design things so they work by themselves. Hume's concept of the reason of animals is that there is notable human to animal likeness which includes anatomical and behavioral similarity. It seems evident, that animals as well as men learn many things from experience, and infer that the same events will follow the same causes. It is concluded that such learning is instinctual and habit based in them. Animals are not all that unlike us, they have thought and knowledge of matters of facts like ours in kind, although to a lesser extent.

This also leads to inquiry about what is it that lets them know about something which can also be related to intelligence. Intelligence as biologists define it is adaptively variable behavior during the lifetime of the individual. This include a extensive array of recognizable manners that are insufficiently described as simple impulse responses to chemical signals, or any of the other numberless fairly automatic explanations that have been commonly extended by scientists for the past years. Certainly the question comes back into Descartes and his early work defining human consciousness as opposed to animal behaviors which he sees as fundamentally mechanical.

As a female penguin lays one egg, her nutritional reserves are exhausted and so she must immediately return to the sea to feed. Very carefully, she transfers the egg to the male penguin, who will incubate the egg in its brood pouch for many days consecutively without food by surviving on his fat reserves and spending the majority of the time sleeping to conserve energy. To survive the cold and wind the males huddle together, taking turns in the middle of the huddle. How do emperor penguins know that this is the very next thing they are going to do. This is due to their instinctive behavior. This can be attributed to Plato's idea about recollection. According to Plato, in humans the soul is immortal, and in previous lives it learnt about the unchanging, eternal forms that is the ultimate reality. In this life, we are distracted by our senses and forget about the forms. Learning about them, then, is a matter of recollecting what he have learned in past lives. All learning, according to Plato, is recollection, and so is the process by which we bring ourselves closer to the good.

If the chick hatches before the mother's return, the father sits the chick on his feet and covers it with his pouch, feeding it a white milky substance produced by a gland in his esophagus.After about two months, the female returns. She finds her mate among the hundreds of fathers via his call and takes over caring for the chick, feeding it by regurgitating the food that she has stored in her stomach. The male then leaves to take his turn at sea. After another few weeks, the male returns and both parents tend to the chick by keeping it off the ice and feeding it food from their stomachs. About two months after
