What are the Emperor penguins learned behaviors?

Emperor penguins have learned behaviors such as huddling together in large groups to conserve body heat, taking turns to move to the warmer center of the huddle. They also have a learned diving technique to catch prey, which involves swimming deep underwater for extended periods of time. Additionally, they have developed specific vocalizations to communicate with one another.

What do penguin claws do?

The claws on the feet of the penguin stop them from slipping on the ice. They also dig their claws into the ice to help them stand upright when motionless. Due to the anatomy of penguins, it is impossible for them to lift their feet upwards to a suitable height to be able to claw at predators. Considering the predators of penguins are larger than them, clawing them would be completely useless and have no effect. The main defence for a penguin is to swim very fast away from the threat.


How does penguins offence?

Emperor penguins are exposed to the threat of predators when they are foraging for food, such as fish and crustaceans in the water. The Emperor penguin's main predator is the leopard seal. The color of the penguin's feathers helps them to avoid being detected by predators when they are underwater. If a predator looks down on an emperor penguin, the dark feathers on its back help it to blend-in with the dark depths of the ocean below. If a predator is swimming below and looks up, the white feathers on the penguin's body help to camouflage it against the sky above the surface of the water. Speed is also an important defence for emperor penguins. Underwater, they can swim at speeds of up to 9.3 miles per hour.
