Why do penguins be jumping out of the water?

How do penguins respire?
Penguins have a respiratory system similar to other birds. They breathe air into their lungs, where oxygen is extracted and carbon dioxide is expelled.

Are penguins mammals or birds?
Penguins are flightless birds. However, like marine mammals, they are able to swim underwater for long periods. Rather than milk, they feed their young regurgitated fish. In some species, notably the Emperor penguins, the male (who fasts while incubating the egg alone) can regurgitate a fatty substance for a newborn to eat in lieu of food.
How do penguins breathe in and out of water?
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.
How long do Emperor penguins sleep?
Emperor penguins typically sleep for short periods throughout the day and night, often in brief naps while standing up. They are adapted to sleep in a way that allows them to remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings in the harsh Antarctic environment.
How have penguins adapted to survive in the Antarctic?
