How Do Penguins Stay Dry?
Penguins have an amazing ability to stay dry and warm even in the most extremely cold climates.
This is primarily due to their unique feather structure, which traps air close to their body. Penguins’ feathers are very dense, which creates tiny air pockets that prevent water from coming into contact with the bird’s skin.
In addition, these feathered friends also secrete oil from glands that coat their feathers and add an extra level of waterproofing. With the combination of their feathers, oils, and superb insulation capabilities, it’s no surprise that penguins are able to keep comfortable despite icy conditions.
