No, penguins have solid bones like other birds, which helps with their diving abilities and survival in the water. Hollow bones are found in flying birds to reduce weight for easier flight.

No. Penguins are birds, and birds do not have fingers. Penguins have wings, which they use like flippers, and they have webbed feet.
Penguins do not have claws; instead, they have flippers which are adapted for swimming and diving in the water. Their flippers are used for propulsion while swimming and for balance on land.
Penguins have flippers as their main appendages for swimming in the water. These flippers are adapted for diving and propulsion through the water, while their feet are used for steering and stability on land.
Penguins have streamlined bodies with close fitting feathers and webbed feet. Perfectly adapted for a marine animal that needs underwater speed to catch fish. Penguins use their flippers as though they are flying through the water.

When a penguin dives into the water, it has a very long oval shape. This tapered front and rear help the penguin to travel very quickly through the water due to the penguin's tapered surface area.

Penguins typically catch food by diving into the water and using their streamlined bodies to swim and catch fish or squid. They use their sharp beaks to catch and hold onto their prey while swimming. Penguins are agile swimmers and are well adapted to hunting underwater.
Penguins DON'T breathe under water. Penguins breathe with lungs, and need to surface regularly to breathe. While diving, they simply hold their breath.
No penguins 'live' in Antarctica.Penguins come to the Antarctic continent to breed, lay eggs and raise their young to survival age.Once their season is complete, the penguins return to the sea, where they live in the water and on ice floes.
