Adults average 1.2 meters (4 ft.) in length and weigh 30 kilograms (75 lb) or more. The largest known individual was about 46 kg. The head and wings are black, the abdomen white, back bluish grey, and the bill is purplish pink. On the sides of the neck, there are two golden circular stripes. Like the King Penguin counterpart, a male Emperor Penguin has an abdominal fold, the "brood pouch", between its legs and lower abdomen.
The Emperor penguin has a thick coat of feathers that insulate the entire body, excluding only the legs and the undersides of the wings. The feathers provide a waterproof layer around the penguin's body.

Emperor penguin chick
Emperor penguin chicks are covered with a thick layer of light gray down. This covering ensures that they retain as much heat as possible, vital at this early stage when they are not capable of maintaining their body temperature. In addition, the infant emperor penguin's orbital area is covered in white downy feathers, unlike the all-black feathered head of the adult.
A distinguishing characteristic between males and females is their call. Each call is distinct. They also are related to the King and the chinstrap penguin.
