Penguins have many adaptation for survival. First is their ability to swim, this allows them not only to hunt for food but to escape predators. A penguin can swim up to 9 mph. Second penguins can dive when hunting for their food. The can stay under water for up to 6 mins and go as deep as 70 feet. Third the have special glands near their eyes that secrete salt to help the body get rid of the excess. Unlike their fly cousins they have denser bones to help counteract the buoyant blubber. Blubber is a adaptation to help the penguins stay warm in the cold habitats.
