How do emperor penguins protect themselves from predators?

Emperor penguins protect themselves from predators such as leopard seals and orcas by staying in large groups, which decreases the chances of an individual penguin being targeted. They also have countershading coloration, with white bellies blending into the ice from below and dark backs blending into the dark ocean waters from above to help camouflage them from predators. Additionally, their fast swimming capabilities help them evade predators in the water.

How is the penguin adapted to protecting itself from other animals?

Penguins are maladapted to predation on land, although they are highly adapted in the water. This isn't a problem however, as they are only predated when in the sea. Their main predators are seals and Orcas. The penguins are very fast underwater with fast turning capabilities which enables them to sometimes out run their predators. Most penguins will swim for the ice when predators appear. They propel themselves upwards, leaving a stream of bubbles behind them which enables them to propel themselves up to 3m above the water when jumping onto the ice, this prevents predators reaching them from the water.
