When the egg hatches‚ the chick is a blackish‚ brownish color. When the chick grows‚ it turns suddenly into white and black colors. The lifespan for these penguins is 20 - 25 years. These penguins are only found in the South Pole in Antarctica. The creatures can do many amazing things

There are two sources for obtaining stem cells‚ one from the layer of cells of embryo in the blast cyst stage‚ these are called the embryonic stem cells and the other from the adult tissues called the adult stem cells. When the stem cells are retracted from the embryo‚ the embryo is completely destroyed. This is where the controversies begin. According to the critics‚ extracting stem cells from the embryo is like killing‚ it is a murder. In fact some religions in the world strictly prohibit
