How do penguins stay warm in cold climates?
- ๐๏ธ 4
Penguins are well adapted to live in cold climates, particularly those in Antarctica, by having several physical features that help them conserve heat. They have a thick layer of blubber beneath their skin, which acts as insulation against the cold. Their dense feathers provide a waterproof layer that traps air and further helps to keep them warm. Penguins also huddle together in large groups to share warmth during extreme cold, and they have a special circulatory system in their legs that minimizes heat loss.
