This period is called molting. The animals must remain out of the water, because their downy baby feathers are too absorbent: the animals would drown.
Once most of the baby down feathers have fallen out, then the animal can enter the water.
Okay well the last answer was completely rubbish. Emperor penguins DO shed their fur, they shed their baby fur, the grey fur they have when they are young penguins. As they grow older they shed that fur.
Baby Penguins come out with fur and feathers, as they grow older they shed the furry coat and feathers and get the sleek hide that you see on an average penguin.

Penguins have feathers, not fur.
Yes, hamsters do shed as part of their natural grooming process. Shedding helps them to remove old or damaged fur and keep their coat healthy. It's important to provide them with a balanced diet, clean living environment, and regular grooming to support their shedding process.

I am a penguin expert!!! If you need any questions about penguins that need to be answered, well, I can answer them!!! Okay!!! Baby penguins have fur on them when they are babies because it is really cold in Antartica. They need to be warm with there fur. As they get older, they need to learn how to swim so they can catch fish and stuff like that. So they shed that fur off and they get speacial kind of fur that is water proof. They still do have fur on them though.
No. Penguins are birds, and all birds have feathers. The brown fur-like stuff on juvenile penguins is called down. Edwin, you lose the bet xD
