However, the Haudenosaunee still follow the traditional matriarchal structure with clans being passed down through their mother.ach family was called the long house family with the Clan Mother as the head. All female descendents including her sisters, her sisters' daughters, and their daughters would live in the long house their entire lives bringing their husbands to live with them.
By far the worldâs largest penguin species, emperor penguins can grow up to 4 feet tall and weigh more than 80 pounds! It is the only Antarctic animal that breeds during the harsh winter, when hundreds or even thousands of penguins huddle together in colonies for warmth. Every year, pairs of emperor penguins dutifully raise a single chick. Male penguins incubate the egg for two months without eating a single meal, while females forage for food. They take over child-rearing duties when the females finally return. The penguinâs survival depends heavily on the abundance of food, such as krill, which thrives on algae that grow on the underside of sea ice.
It is more like a conditioner for feathers than grease. The Emperor penguin grows to around 115 cm. It weighs 25-40 kilograms, but male weight can vary by up to half that amount depending on the stage of the breeding cycle and how much body reserves he has laid down before the breeding season started.
