Penguins have a counter current heat exchange mechanism. The warm blood entering their flippers flows past cold blood leaving. This warms the cold blood and cools the warm blood thus reducing heat loss from the flippers.

How counter current exchange mechanism can increase the rate of oxygen?

Counter current exchange allows for maximum oxygen absorption by maintaining a concentration gradient between the blood and the respiratory medium. This mechanism ensures that oxygen diffuses from the medium into the blood continuously, increasing the rate of oxygen uptake. It also minimizes the loss of oxygen by maximizing the diffusion gradient along the entire surface of exchange.
