Penguins live in very cold places, so they need to stay warm to be comfortable and safe. They have two super cool ways to keep warm!

First, they have special feathers that are really good at keeping water away and trapping heat close to their bodies, like a cozy coat.

Second, penguins have a thick layer of fat under their skin called blubber. This fat works like a warm jacket that protects them from the cold water.

So, their special feathers and their fat jacket help penguins stay warm and happy in the chilly ocean!
