Penguins survive their harsh environment because of a layer of fat and water-resistant feather patterns that are tightly packed. The feathers keep out the brutal Antarctic winds. When possible, and a penguin wants to 'warm up', the animal simply dives into the warmer water, which is always warmer than the ambient air above the water line.
