How do penguins keep themselves warm in an icy-cold habitat?
Penguins keep themselves warm in icy habitats through several adaptations. They have a thick layer of blubber beneath their skin, which provides insulation against the cold. Their feathers are tightly packed and waterproof, helping to trap air and retain heat. Additionally, penguins often huddle together in groups to share body warmth, further reducing heat loss in harsh environments.
