Why dont penguins make good pets?
Penguins do not make good pets because they are expensive to have ($10,000 per penguin not including the $50,000 for a proper environment) they are not domesticated and cannot be domesticated. They bite and are super social so you would have to double the price and buy a whole other penguin. So basiclly you'd be buying an undomesticated and expensive little animal. Not to mention the water bill ;)
What kind of senses does a Emperor Penguin have?
Emperor penguins have well-developed senses of sight, hearing, and touch, which help them navigate in their icy Antarctic environment. Their keen eyesight allows them to spot prey underwater, while their acute hearing helps them communicate with other penguins using various vocalizations. They also have sensitive bills and flippers that can detect changes in water pressure and temperature.

As a matter of fact, one can eat a penguin - but it is ill-advised. Many penguin species are listed as Endangered, so it would be illegal to eat them.
However, penguins have certainly been eaten by starving people in the past. In one particular instance, when explorer of Australia Edward Eyre and his aboriginal companion Wylie were struggling along the shore below the cliffs of the Great Australian Bight in 1841, they came upon a dead penguin on the beach. Wylie had reached such a point of starvation that he did indeed eat the penguin - hide and all. Eyre recorded the incident in his journal.

It depends on the species.
The Fairy penguin, or Little penguin, which is found along some of Australia's southern shores, lives in burrows in the sand dunes along the shoreline when it is not out hunting in the sea during the day. These birds return every night to their burrows.
The Emperor penguin, on the other hand, has no fixed nesting site, while the Gentoo penguin is different again, making a nest on the ground out of stones, sticks, grass, feathers, or almost any materials it finds.
