Emperor Penguins do not freeze to death in the Antarctic as they are well adapted to their surrondings.

A penguin doesn't freeze to death because:

  • It has a thick layer of blubber or fat to keep it warm
  • It has black skin which is good at absorbing and keeping in heat
  • A penguin's Feathers are tightly compact and when a penguin 'preens' itself by putting a special oil made from a gland in its tail on it, it becomes Waterproof.
  • When penguins do get cold, they huddle together for warmth.

To you or I it i cold in the Antarctic but to a Penguin, it is normal as it has adapted to the cold weather, just as we have adapted to our surrinding

Emperor Penguins don't shelter themselves, because they keep warmth in harsh winters by including their Young's in huddles so the Young's don't freeze.
