Take, for example, king penguin: the male incubates the eggs, carries them on his feet for months and protects against the Antarctic cold under fat folds in the abdomen... Okay, answer the second, how about a male elephant? Lying the whole day on the beach and Fucks all the females within reach. It is distressing, it seems that the behavior of the elephant, it is more typical than a penguin. Besides, knowing your gender, I am inclined to doubt the altruism of the latter. Most likely, the male penguin just realized that if have to be stuck in Antarctica for so many years in a row, it would be wise to sit at home and babysit the egg until the female catches the fish in icy water. That is just chose the most favorable tactics.
