A penguin's flippers give them an advantage of speed and agility in the water.
A penguin has wings that look like flippers. Penguins (several species) use their flippers to swim under water.
An emperor penguin has between 190-200 bones in its body. This includes bones in the wings, flippers, legs, and other skeletal structures that help them swim and navigate in their icy habitats.
They use their webbed feet for walking and flippers for swimming.
They have waterproof fur to keep them worm in frigid waters. Flippers help them swim through the water fast

An emperor penguin walks by taking short, waddling steps on land due to its short legs and awkward posture. They also slide on their bellies using their flippers on icy surfaces to conserve energy and move more quickly.
The penguin uses its beak to catch fish. It also uses its vestigial wings as flippers, making it a very fast and agile swimmer.
Penguins flap their flippers to swim underwater, like birds flap their wings to fly through the air. They paddle with their webbed feet when floating on the surface.
