Why is a penguin called a bird if it can't fly?
They have wings, a beak, and they have overall bird features such as warm-blood, a four-chambered heart, and a backbone. They don't fly because of their shape and size, so they are in the same class as ostrich and kiwi.
All birds have forelimbs modified as wings but only most - not all - can fly.
What are the penguin parts of the body?
For starters, a penguins wings are not big enough to support the body mass of the Penguin, thus not allowing it to fly. These wings do make great flippers, though
In regards to the penguin's skeleton: Unlike the majority of other birds, penguins do not have hollow bones, so are much heavier and harder to support with their small wings. The solid, as opposed to hollow, bones act as ballast to help them dive. Also, being solid, they are less prone to breakage from the stresses of swimming. Some (but not all) flying birds have hollow bones to be lighter.

What can the little blue penguin do?
tons of things. The mothers keep their babies beneath their feet tucked in so their warm. Sometimes the babies fall out and die because of the coldness, its really sad if you watch the march of the penguins, i actually cried watching that documentary . the fathers of the babies have to stay with the baby penguins and tuck them under their feet so the mothers can travel miles away to go get food and bring it back for their babies. Its really sad cause some mothers get eaten by the seals and then when all the other mothers return back, they refind their soulmates and feed their babies, as the other mothers who got eaten themselves do not return and their babies starve to death.

The thing that threatens penguins is all the garbage in the ocean and other people fishing.

Is a snake an endothermic animal?
No. Rattlesnakes are ectothermic, which is commonly referred to as 'cold-blooded'. Snakes are reptiles, and all reptiles are ectothermic, as are fish and amphibians. Their body temperature is dependent on external environmental conditions.
When baby animals are just born or just hatched, most have little fear of people. But they bond right away with the parent bird or animal and learn to avoid humans. In captivity, penguins are used to being handled for medical care and are fairly social - the babies too.
But penguins aren't "cuddly". They are cute, yes. But they are birds not puppies. They look like you could pick them up and kiss and love on them, but they wouldn't react the way you would want them to. They would bite you and try to get away.
