However, their feathers are specially adapted for life in the water:
* Dense and waterproof: They have a layer of overlapping feathers that trap air, making them buoyant and keeping them warm.
* Short and stiff: This helps them streamline their bodies for efficient swimming.
* Preening: Penguins spend a lot of time preening their feathers to keep them clean and in good condition.
So, while they might look furry, they're actually covered in a beautiful and efficient layer of feathers!
