A penguin’s feathers are stiff and packed tightly together. While this doesn’t allow for soaring in the air, it makes them excellent swimmers. This type of feather keeps the water out and makes a great streamlined surface, perfect for water sports!

So cool! I wondered how they didn’t get cold. Also its like they are flying in the water even through they cant do it in the air!
