Like all our chicks, the emperors are growing up,

having been born and raised in some of the most extreme conditions on earth.
这些小家伙生长在地球上最恶劣的环境里
Since they were born two months ago, they have depended on their devoted parents for everything.

But soon, they will have to start fending more for themselves.
但是很快，它们就得想办法自己谋生
In just three months,

they will take the biggest steps in their lives and make the long journey to the sea.
它们就要迈出人生的重要一步，开启一段走向海洋的远征

Chickcam provides a chick's-eye view, as they start to become more independent.
小企鹅摄像机可以从小企鹅的视角，记录它们渐渐独立起来
Already, they are spending more time away from their parents

and huddling together for both comfort and company.

But when you're the smallest, it's always difficult to join the big kids' club.
但是如果你个头很小，总是很难融入大个子企鹅的群体

The huddle is now his only source of warmth.

如果哪只企鹅能好心让一下就好了
Although they spend most of their time together,

they still rely on their parents for regular meals.

With the frozen sea shrinking, each parent returns around once a week.

They're growing fast, and always hungry,

so they beg a fish meal from anyone.

The father checks the call - this one's an imposter.

He's immediately hassled by more chicks, all trying to cadge a meal.
它马上被更多小企鹅包围了，都吵着要吃的
With over 2,000 chicks to inspect, checking them all could take a very long time.

所以它依次走向小企鹅群，看看谁会回应它的呼唤
A chick responds.

But she's stuck in the huddle, with no way out.
但是它被团住了，无法离开
There's just one thing for it - she bodysurfs across the crowd.
只有一个办法，从企鹅群上方漂移出去

视频及简介

最新的间谍摄像机带给我们全新的视点，帮助我们重新观察这些不可思议的鸟类的行为和极端的生存策略，带我们发现作为一只企鹅的真正意义。紧随成功的北极熊纪录片《冰上侦查》，间谍摄像机在企鹅摄像机上又发展到了新的水平，一系列逼真的电子动物摄像机伪装成企鹅、幼企鹅和企鹅蛋。企鹅间谍来到冰封的南极大陆，来拍摄企鹅帝国。有些摄像机伪装成福克兰岛的跳岩企鹅、南美沙漠的汉波德企鹅的样子。
