Little penguins bury themselves in sand dunes primarily for protection and insulation. The sand helps shield them from predators and harsh weather conditions, providing a safe environment for resting and nesting. Additionally, the warmth of the sand can help regulate their body temperature, especially during colder months. This behavior enhances their chances of survival in their natural habitat.
