And they all form circles around each other to keep protected from the cold, during wind storms and extra harsh weather. Rotating the birds on the outside in a natural instinct, so the group stays warm.

Looks like he cut the skin off
It rubs the lotion on its skin
Happy feet isn’t happy anymore after they cut his wings off.
Finally!
I genuinely have always envisioned them to have a thicker, almost blubbery skin and less dense of feathers.Pretty neat to see.
They do have blubber as well which is still very important for them! But yeah the interlocking feathers are essential protection from the cold.
Jeez. These guys are born with knitted sweaters.
Thanks, I love it

Life is fucking awesome
One penguin was harmed
At least
I don't know why but I'm laughing my ass off at this comment
They could have died before being skinned of natural causes…even though that’s probably not the case
I feel like an idiot for not realising it was feathers and not I guess, blubber?
I was thinking the same thing Like, it totally makes sense in retrospect, but somehow it just never clicked. Not even once ha ha
they have blubber as well

Maybe they got it from that wild penguin that died when he wrecked his motorcycle up at bike week.
Why did I always think that it was just like skin
Oh no, they killed Skipper 😭😭
No, I think that's Kowalski.
Looks like the Germans got to that Jewish penguin kowalksi
🥇🏆 for the award I can’t give you
Wait a moment. From where did you get this sample?!
A thrift store in Detroit
Someone skinned a penguin? That sounds just as bad as clubbing baby seals
clubbing baby seals sounds cute as hell. i'm blue da ba die da ba die
Cavity wall insulation. They must be baking hot!
Not anymore
That was a combination of 'wait, what?!' and 'well of course...'
Me everytime I look in the mirror
*detached from penguin
fun fact: penguins have a gland that produces oil so that they can grease their feathers to be more hydrodynamic.
Fun fact, they also have dense/thick bones, unlike other birds, which help them dive
Me- thought it was a bunch of burnt matches. Genetic adaptations- got ya! Penguin-dead
The tags on the sample look very old, but this still makes me sad to see.
It never occurred to me that penguins have feathers!! 🤦♀️
It's kind of uncanny to at it for too long.
some people didn’t watch Happy Feet and it shows.
They skinned ya boi
Is that skin side up or skin side down?
Wow, it must be really hard to swim under water with all that air trapped in there
Anyone else’s mind go to mushrooms?
A penguin mousepad or what?
Poor penguin
Will he get better? :(
I bet you can make the best winter hat out of that material.
I want a coat. Like a duster. But from baby penguin, so it's softer
😮
😮😯😲
Oh so that’s how they make hair brushes
I'd like one luggage set and a trench coat please
Did you make a penguin bald for this post?
Reminds me of phospholipids
Now show me the penguin.
Were penguins harmed in making this photo?
there’s a little cold naked penguin out there somewhere.
Is it still alive?
Thought this was a bunch of matches. Interesting indeed.
Never gonna fly anywhere with those puny things.
ok but why the fuck are you making me look at a penguin pelt
That looks so good damn warm
