Description
Penguin locomotion. Artwork illustrating the way that a penguin moves. The crayon outlines, which are seen on either side of this emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri), represent the swaying walk or waddle of a penguin. This rocking action has been found to be a very efficient way to move on the short legs and large feet of a penguin. These are needed as adaptations to its cold climates and for swimming in the sea.
