Penguins feet are set far back of the body. Which allows them to stand upright, which is more difficult to do in ducks (mallards, for example) who have their legs more in the middle. Therefore, if there is ice to slide on, it is often quicker to lay on their stomachs and push with their feet, especially down an icy slope, that to walk upright with a penguin's waddle.
they mainly slide on their stomachs and sometimes waddle.
the same reason you don't their legs are at the bottom The reason is that ... The frozen sea is very hard, bumpy and difficult to slide on so the penguins do not have the smooth easy surface you might imagine. Also the bumpy surface of the ice after a while will probably hurt their bellies. The reason is that ...

A seal would slide farther because all seals don't grow fur and penguins grow feathers on their whole entire body. Well actually they both might slide far because some seals do grow fur so they sometimes both will slide far.
They waddle. Sometimes, they fall onto their stomachs and slide.
To get places faster if there legs are tired Penguins slide on their bellies because they have short, thick and dense feet. That makes it hard to walk. According to the information I have read about, penguins love sliding on their bellies because it's easier to them. There for, it's hard to walk so sliding on their bellies is an easier way to transport.
When a penguins slides on it's stomach it is called tobagganing. Penguins tobaggan when they want to get somewhere quickly, for it is much faster than waddling as they do.
penguins can slide on ice.
Penguins like to waddle around and slide on the ice
yes they do
You're probably thinking of tobogganing, which is when penguins slide on their bellies and chest.
Penguins that can mimic the action of tobogganing are called Emperor Penguins. They can lay on their stomachs and slide for a long time as long as they are on a downslope.
they like to slide on ice and sometimes they swim.
They either waddle on slide on their bellys.
penguins swim,slide3 on ice ,and slide on their bellies
Penguins eat fish. I doubt if their stomach would respond well to a carrot.
