Chinstrap penguins can typically hold their breath for around 1-2 minutes while diving underwater to feed on fish and krill. They have evolved efficient respiratory adaptations that allow them to stay submerged and hunt for food in the cold Antarctic waters.
Penguins can stay out of water for varying amounts of time depending on the species, environmental conditions, and individual bird. Most penguin species can typically stay out of water for several hours to a day before needing to return to the water to feed. Emperor penguins, for example, can stay out of water for several weeks during the breeding season.
Penguins live on land but spend a lot of time in the water. Some species can stay underwater for many minutes.
