Answer 1

They can stay in the water for more than 2 hrs

Answer 2

Penguins have a thick layer of fat underneath the skin which helps to store energy.This thick layer of fat also insulates them.Penguin feathers are specially designed. They are short and have an under-layer of fine woolly down, and easily shed water, a useful quality given that penguins spend up to 75% of their time in the water.Penguin feathers are shaped to overlap, allowing better streamlining for penguins when they are in the water and protection from the wind when they are on land.Their body shape is also streamlined for rapid swimming and successful diving.Penguins have dark feathers on the broad expanse of their backs. These black feathers absorb the heat of the sun, helping to warm up the birds.Penguins have a specially designed circulatory system which can adjust to conserving or releasing heat to keep a stable temperature.Many species of penguins huddle together for warmth and the eggs are incubated on the penguins' feet where they get constant warmth.Penguins have webbed feet so this gives them speed for swimming.Penguins have solid bones that allow them to stay underwater for swimming and hunting. Flying birds have light, hollow bones which could never withstand the stresses of this swimming.
