Happy Father's Day!
🐧 Did you know that after laying an egg, the mother emperor penguin leaves it with a male who protects the fragile hard shell from the elements? She spends the next nine weeks at sea, feeding. The male carefully balances the egg on his feet for between 65 – 75 days to keep it warm in a specially adapted brood pouch, and off the snow surface, before it hatches. Then out pops a fluffy chick.
💙 This fun fact is just a reminder to Greet your fathers and father figures a Happy by sending them a WILDCARD: wwf.org.ph/wildcard-fathers-day/
A Wildcard is a unique charitable gift that supports the long-lasting conservation projects of WWF-Philippines. As long-lasting as our love for our fathers!
