To keep warm and not freeze.
Yes, penguins are social creatures that live in large colonies. They rely on one another for activities like hunting, breeding, and sharing body heat to stay warm in cold environments. Social bonds are important for their survival in their natural habitats.
The metabolism of penguins (like other birds, or like mammals such as us) generates a certain amount of heat. They are not cold blooded. Furthermore, the bodies of penguins act as barriers to wind. There is less air circulation, hence, the air is less chilling.
Penguins are able to hold their breath while swimming underwater by closing their nostrils and using their lungs to exchange oxygen. They can stay submerged for several minutes before resurfacing to breathe. Additionally, penguins have a high concentration of myoglobin in their muscles, which helps store oxygen and aids in their ability to stay underwater for extended periods of time.
Penguins are fat to help them stay warm in cold water and harsh weather conditions. Their thick layer of blubber provides insulation and acts as an energy reserve for long periods of fasting during breeding seasons. Additionally, the excess weight helps them stay buoyant while swimming.
No, penguins do not give birth to triplets. Penguins typically lay one to two eggs at a time, with very rare cases of three eggs being laid. The survival rate of multiple chicks hatching from the same clutch is very low due to competition for food and parental care.
Because Emperor penguins have a layer of blubber (fat) and they also stay very close together in snow storms. They survive with all the thick layers of feathers and fat.
They are just basic penguins so they aren't really a species. But there is a species that is very close to them.2 actually. The Chinstrap and the Adelie Penguin.
at the southern tip of Chile. its very close to Antarctica.

very close
You can stay close to DC, in Alexandria or Arlington (Virgina) and just take the metro in. It is all very close.
bide
Baby chimps stay very close to mother for about 2.5 years.
Penguins do have feathers; you just can't see them as well as other birds. Penguin feathers are very thick and tightly woven together to keep out the cold and stay warm in the icy water.
