Penguins have extremely tough feet to start with for walking across rocky beaches. They also have what is known as a counter current heat exchange system. The feet dont have any muscles in them, or very few, but they do have a lot of tendons so they can still move them. Not having the muscles there mean that they feet dont have to stay as warm as the rest of the body, so they will be cooler than the rest of the penguin. The counter current system means that warm blood in the veins coming from the body to the feet passes really close to the vessels carrying colder blood from the feet. As they pass close to each other, the heat from the warm blood gets transferred to the cooler blood warming that blood and cooling the warm blood so not that much heat is lost thorugh the feet, even though they are touching ice and snow all the time. This also means that the colder blood doesnt shock the body and with less of a gradient betweent he feet and the environment, the heat is lost slower than if the difference between the foot temp and the ice was greater. All of this keeps the feet cooler but not freezing. What also helps is the tough scaley feet that i mentioned earlier as well as the ability to cover the feet with essentially belly fat rolls when not walking and penguins reduce the amount of surface area in contact with the cold area by standing on their toes or rolling back onto their heels. All these things help penguins maintain a much warmer body temperature than their surroundings. \nAs a side note, the feet are also the penguins way of staying cool. Since they rest of the body is so well insulated, they can actually overheat and the feet is where the excess heat is lost, also though a counter current system.

Absolutely not.  They are warm-blooded creatures capable of maintaining an internal body temperature.  If birds were cold-blooded, you can bet that penguins and non-migratory birds would be in deep trouble when exposed to low temperatures!

The dog was really drunk and didn't know what it was doing

Nectar certainly does ferment in flowers. It's quite common in  tropical regions where the warm temepratures accelerate fermentation to see birds drunk as skunks literally falling out of flowering trees. Drunk birds also become belligerent and commmonly attack each other.\n\nSo the idea that a bee can become drunk is entirely plausible, though I've never noticed it myself.

ha ha i think i might walk like a penguin and then have a good scrath out of view - what a top question thou

No. Penguins, like all other birds, do not have teeth. The chicks do have an egg tooth, but this is not a real tooth, but rather a sharp bump on the top surface of the bill which is used to break the egg when hatching.\nPenguins do have rearward-pointing, tooth-like barbs on the tongue and roof of the mouth. These are not used for chewing, but instead assist in the swallowing of their slippery prey. GOT IT?

i like the koala too, but the penguin is my favorite.... :D

It is a whale, I think it's a Blue Wheal. It is the largest and many times larger than an elephant, so just to move it's own weight it must me the strongest. It is a animal and not a fish.

The Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri), at 1.1 meters (3 ft 9 in) tall and 30 kilograms (75 lb) in weight, is the tallest and heaviest of all penguins. It is the only penguin that breeds during the winter in Antarctica. Emperor Penguins eat mainly crustaceans (such as krill) but also indulge in consuming small fish and squid. In the wild, Emperor Penguins typically live for 20 years, but some records indicate a maximum lifespan of around 40 years. (The Emperor Penguin should not be confused with the King Penguin or the Royal Penguin.)\n\n\n\nPhysical characteristics\n\nAdults average about 1.1 metres (3 ft 9 in) and weigh 30 kilograms (75 lb) or more. The head and wings are black, the abdomen white, back bluish grey, bill purplish pink. On the sides of the neck, there are two golden circular stripes.\n\nLike the King Penguin counterpart, a male Emperor Penguin has an abdominal fold, the "brood pouch", between its legs and lower abdomen.\n\nEmperor penguin chicks are covered with a thick layer of light gray down. This covering ensures that they retain as much heat as possible, vital at this early stage when they are not capable of maintaining their body temperature. In addition, the infant emperor penguin's orbital area is covered in white downy feathers, unlike the all-black feathered head of the adult.\n\nA distinguishing characteristic between males and females is their call.\n\n\n\nEcology and behaviour\nEmperor Penguins, Ross Sea, Antarctica.\n\nEmperor Penguins are social animals, both foraging and nesting in groups. In severe weather the penguins huddle together for protection. They may be active day or night. Sexually mature adults travel throughout most of the year between the nesting area and foraging areas in the ocean. From January to March, Emperor Penguins disperse into the oceans, traveling and foraging in groups.\n\nTo find food, these penguins need to dive 150 to 250 meters (490-820 feet) into the Southern Ocean. The penguins can venture deeper, the deepest diving on record being 565 m (1870 ft). The longest they can hold their breath when underwater is 20 minutes. Their swimming speed is 6 km to 9 km per hour (4-6 mph), but they can achieve up to 19 km per hour (12 mph) in short bursts.\n\nOn land they alternate between walking with a wobbling gait and sliding over the ice on their bellies, propelled by their feet and their flipper-like wings. During the beginning of the Antarctic winter, in March and April, all mature Emperor penguins travel to colonial nesting areas, often walking 50 to 120 km from the edge of the pack ice.\n\nIn response to the cold, emperor penguins stand in compact huddles ranging in size between ten and many hundreds of birds, each leaning forward on a neighbor. Those on the outside tend to face inward and push slowly forward. This produces a slow churning action, giving each bird a turn on the inside.\n\nIn the wild, Penguin predators include Antarctic giant petrels, (Macronectes giganteus), Leopard seals, orca, skua, and sharks. Abandoned sled dogs and their progeny formerly preyed upon penguins before the removal of dogs from Antarctica.\n\n\n\n\nReproduction\n\nEmperor Penguins first begin to breed at approximately five years of age. Emperor penguins travel about 90 km inland to reach the breeding site. In March or April, the penguins start courtship, when the temperature can be as low as -40 degrees C (-40°F). Emperor penguins are serially monogamous. They have only one mate each year, and keep faithfully to that one other penguin, but each year, most choose different mates. In May or June, the female penguin lays one 450-gram (1 pound) egg, but at this point her nutritional reserves are exhausted and she must immediately return to the sea to feed. Very carefully, she transfers the egg to the male penguin, who will incubate the egg in his brood pouch for about 65 days consecutively without food by surviving on his fat reserves and spending the majority of the time

On your knees Penguin!

because gravity points to the center of the sphere, so no matter where you are on teh sphere, the down direction is towards the center of teh planet, wich allows penguins in teh south pole to walk on teh surface of the planet.\nIf you look at constelation however, they do appear upside down when viewed from below the equator, proving that we are walking on a sphere

I just read about several male penguins in a German zoo who refuse female companionship.  The first link is about this.  The second link is to an article that is much more on-topic for you.  It also is about penguins, but further on talks about homosexuality elsewhere in the animal kingdom.

A monkey but if i could choose i would say a penguin. PENGUIN

They start getting their feet wet when the downward mass exactly equals the mass of water displaced by the block of ice (Alchimedes principle).\n\nVolume of block of ice = 9 x 9 x 0.5 = 40.5 m3\n\nTherefore mass of seawater displaced = 40.5 x 1025 = 41,512.5 kg\n\nThe ice weighs 40.5 * 917 = 37,138.5 kg\n\nTherefore the difference, 4374 kg must be the penguins.\n\nThey weigh 19 kg each, so there must be...\n\n4374 / 19 = 230.21 penguins.\n\nSo if there are 231 of them they get their feet wet (230 wouldn't quite).

When perching birds sit, a tendon on the backside of the ankle automatically flexes locking their toes around the branch. With feet locked, sleeping birds don't fall. As the bird stands up its feet release.

Sheep is a good word. But I prefer to call them penguins, they waddle (must be all those pot lucks they have at church).
