I have no idea how penguins manage to live down there. For the Honorable Mention for Penguin Shiver, go here . And I'm Kathy for Kids' Earth and Sky. But not as much as you might think. In fact, penguins have more of a problem staying cool than staying warm enough.
Penguins stay warm in lots of different ways.
They have a thick layer of fat under their skin, and they have special feathers that trap warm air next to their skin. On the other hand, if it's warmer out and they're getting too hot, they hold their feathers straight up to let some heat off. If they still get too hot, they might go for a swim in the ocean. Well, that's today's show.
