Penguins do not have a mantle cavity. A mantle cavity is typically associated with mollusks, where it serves as a space housing the gills and other organs. Penguins, being birds, have a different anatomical structure, including lungs for respiration and a skeletal system adapted for their aquatic lifestyle. Therefore, the concept of a mantle cavity does not apply to them.
What else can I help you with?
What are siphons and what is their purpose?
The siphon is part of the mantle of the mollusc, and the water flow is directed to (or from) the mantle cavity. A single siphon occurs in some gastropods. In those bivalves which have siphons, the siphons are paired.

Can the alimentary canal be seen in the mantle cavity?
No, the alimentary canal cannot be seen in the mantle cavity. The mantle cavity is primarily a space in mollusks that houses the gills and other structures, while the alimentary canal is part of the digestive system located within the body of the organism. The two systems are distinct, although they may be functionally related in terms of overall physiology.
What houses a mollusk's respiratory structures?
A mollusk respires through structures called ctenidia (gills), which are housed in the mantle cavity of most mollusks. The mantle cavity is a space between the mollusk's main body and its mantle, an organ with numerous important functions, including shell creation and osmoregulation.
