this is a good way of getting answers specially so school kids who have a chance to learn new things
Thier feathers provide good insulation, and then they have a layer of fat underneath the skin to keep them warm as well. On top of that they have something called a heat exchanger that makes the cold blood coming from teir feet trade temperature with the warm blood heading towards their feet so that they don't lose too much energy that way.
Penguins have a unique circulatory system that helps keep their feet warm. Their arteries and veins are positioned close together, allowing warm blood flowing from the body to heat up the cooler blood returning from the feet. Additionally, penguins have special adaptations like thick insulating layers of fat and feathers on their feet to help conserve heat.
No, penguins do not have blue blood. Penguins, like other birds, have red blood due to the presence of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in their bloodstream. Blue blood is found in animals like horseshoe crabs and some mollusks due to a different type of oxygen-carrying molecule called hemocyanin.
yes
Penguins have a specialized circulatory system that prevents their blood from freezing in cold weather. They have a high concentration of hemoglobin and myoglobin in their blood, which helps them maintain body temperature and oxygen levels. Additionally, they have a network of counter-current heat exchange in their flippers and legs that prevents heat loss.
'There are certain arteries in a penguins foot that can adjust the blood flow according to the foot temperature.'
because they have webbed feet and webbed feet dont freeze

Blood does not automatically freeze when it leaves the body. It depends on the ambient temperature.
warm-blooded
they all do
he doesnt suck her blood because it's 'dead blood' and not as appealing.
Penguins feet don't freeze, due to two reasons. One reason is that It allows the penguin to control the rate of blood flowing to its feet by varying the diameter of arterial vessels supplying the blood. when its cold, less blood is pumped and when its warm more is pumped. the second reason I'm unsure of
yes
It doesnt.
