皇帝企鹅(Aptenodytes forsteri),简称帝企鹅是现存企鹅世界中的巨人。一般体高在90厘米以上,最大可达到120厘米,体重达30-40公斤。在亚南极岛屿,有一种企鹅以前被认为是最大的企鹅,英语名称是“King Penguin”,“King”意即国王,译成中文,名为王企鹅。后来,在南极大陆沿海又发现了一种大型企鹅,比王企鹅还高一头,于是给它取名为“Emperor Penguin”,“Emperor”意即皇帝,这就是“帝企鹅”得名的来历。
Lethbridge is situated on the Oldman River, near its junction with the St. Mary River, in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. Founded in the 1880s as a mining town called Coalbanks, it was renamed Lethbridge, after William Lethbridge, president of the Northwest Coal and Navigation Company, upon arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway (1885).
