How Do Penguins Move Around
Penguins will lie on their bellies to toboggan across ice and eat snow. Penguins walk very slow, under 1.5mph/ 2.4kmh, so its faster to slide across the ice by propelling themselves with their wings and feet. This is called tobogganing since they’re basically using their bodies as a toboggan/sled.
Chinstrap Penguins Take Thousands of Naps Each Day
Penguin colonies are noisy and chaotic, so chinstrap penguins will nap a few seconds at a time in order to remain alert for predators.
These micronaps add up to around 11 hours of sleep each day.
