和其他企鹅一样,它也经历一年一次的脱毛,在几周时间里替换掉所有的羽毛。
At the end of their laying cycle they are either slaughtered or forced to molt by water and food deprivation , which shocks them into another layer cycle .
They are active at night and live for many years , and females molt after maturity .
他们是在夜间活动,多年来生活,女性成熟后脱皮。
This is the last instar larval stage , which describes the times between each molt ( after an insect sheds its exoskeleton in order to grow ) until the insect reaches sexual maturity .
