Penguins have a specialized digestive system that allows them to process their primarily fish-based diet efficiently. After swallowing their food, it passes through the stomach, where enzymes and acids break down the proteins and fats. The food then moves to the intestine, where nutrients are absorbed, and any indigestible parts are expelled. This efficient digestion is crucial for maintaining their energy levels in cold environments.
