Penguins typically have around 70 to 100 feathers per square inch. These feathers are densely packed and provide insulation and waterproofing, which are crucial for their survival in cold aquatic environments. The exact number can vary by species and individual, but this density helps maintain their body temperature while swimming in icy waters.

What is a young of penguin?
Penguins are flightless birds, and their diet consists of fish, shrimp and krill. There are 18 species of living penguins, and 5 types of penguins that are extinct. They are good swimmers and spend most of their lives at sea. Penguins are flightless birds who swim and dive a lot. Habitat - Where do penguins live? Penguins live south of the equator in cold waters. They swim in the water and waddle on the land as fast as a human can walk, but they do not fly! They use their wings to push themselves through the water. They stay in the water, except to raise their babies. Body Covering A penguin is a bird and is covered with feathers. Their feathers are short and thick. They form a waterproof coat. The feathers are black or bluish-gray, and the belly feathers are white. They have soft, short feathers called "down feathers" to keep them warm. Like polar bears and seals, they also have the layer of fat called blubber. Food Penguins usually eat many different kinds of fish. Penguins are flightless birds who swim and dive a lot. Habitat - Where do penguins live? Penguins live south of the equator in cold waters.

What is penguin blubber?
Penguins do not actually have blubber - blubber is vascularized fat which is characteristic of cetaceans, pinnipeds and sirenians. Penguins do have a thick layer of fat which does help to keep them warm, but their main source of warmth is their feathers and down. From http://www.penguinscience.com/education/ask_a_researcher.php : 1. How do penguins feathers work to keep them warm? Adélie Penguins have about 100 feathers per square inch, which is a density that is far higher than in other birds. Their feathers are short, cup-shaped and overlap closely to make a waterproof covering for the body. The base of the feather has downy tufts that trap the warm air near the penguin's skin. Adélie Penguins also have a layer of down growing beneath the contour feathers, as well as a thick layer of fat under their skin that further helps to insolate their bodies from the cold. and 8. Do they like the cold air?Penguins have many adaptations to keep them warm. When the temperature gets a few degrees above freezing they must work to lose heat by panting and fluffing their feathers. *****Please help our schools by pointing this out to our teachers! My niece came home with a study guide for an upcoming test that stated "Penguins have blubber". Although this is a simple mistake and easy to confuse, it's always better to teach and have our children grow up learning the truth!*****
