Best Answer

The torpedo-shaped bodies of the penguins are designed to help them move efficiently through the water. Their webbed feet help them steer under water and their wings help the swim. The eyes of Humboldt penguins are designed to get them adapted to the ocean colors. Their eyes are more sensitive to green, violet and blue colors. More to it, their eyes have a second transparent eyelid designed to help them â??Googleâ?? underwater. They also have preening glands that produce oil. The oil helps the penguins by waterproofing their feathers.

1) penguins have webbed feet for powerful swimming .

2) They have thick skin and lots of blubber under their skin to keep warm.

3) Penguin's tightly packed feathers overlap to provide waterproofing and warmth.

4) Their heavy solid bones act like a white belt of diver , helping them to stay under water for minutes.

They are colored on top and white on the bottom because if a predator is on top they blend in with the ocean and if a predator is on the bottom they blend in with the sky (kinda)
