Original Title: TIL that during their 32 to 34-day incubation period, Adélie penguin parents take turns incubating their eggs, with shifts up to 12 days. The incubating parent remains on the nest, refraining from feeding or leaving, and even projects feces away from the nest to maintain cleanliness.
