Emperor penguin

The emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the tallest and heaviest of all living penguin species and is endemic to Antarctica. The male and female are similar in plumage and size, reaching 122 cm (48 in) in height and weighing from 22 to 45 kg (49 to 99 lb). The dorsal side and head are black and sharply delineated from the white belly, pale-yellow breast and bright-yellow ear patches. Like all penguins it is flightless, with a streamlined body, and wings stiffened and flattened into flippers for a marine habitat.

Its diet consists primarily of fish, but can also include crustaceans, such as krill, and cephalopods, such as squid. In hunting, the species can remain submerged up to 18 minutes, diving to a depth of 535 m (1,755 ft). It has several adaptations to facilitate this, including an unusually structured haemoglobin to allow it to function at low oxygen levels, solid bones to reduce barotrauma, and the ability to reduce its metabolism and shut down non-essential organ functions.

Fictional character biography

Some time ago, Ignatius Ogilvy's parents had been murdered outside the Monarch Theater, not unlike that of a familiar wealthy billionaire known as Bruce Wayne. His father Ed Ogilvy had been a small-time crook some time ago. He had been loyal to his employers, but was murdered in the process of a business negotiation. After his father's death, Ignatius worked his way to becoming one of the Penguin (Oswald Cobblepot)'s top lieutenants and eventually his right hand man. While his father had never rocked the boat, Ignatius had seen how that worked out for him and decided to own the boat.

Ignatius Ogilvy was a young boy when he joined the Penguin's gang. He started off as a runner and a watchman. Ignatius first encountered Batman during an operation for the Penguin. Batman beat Ignatius' entire crew. Seeing the boy terrified in the corner, Batman walked over to Ignatius and threatened him to stay out of trouble. Obviously, the boy did not comply. Ignatius stayed with the Penguin going up in ranks after many operations. During one of those experiences, Ogilvy fought Batman as a normal henchman and took three batarangs to his left arm leaving a deep scar. After many more missions, Ignatius became one of the Penguin's right-hand men. Before long, Ogilvy became Cobblepot's favorite. The Penguin sent Ignatius on a mission by himself to collect data from a bank with a new recruit. While Ignatius got the data, the new recruit raided the bank's vault trying to impress the Penguin. However, Ignatius was not impressed and killed the man for making such a stupid move.
