On the frozen landscape of Antarctica, emperor penguins huddle together to shield against cold, windy, and harsh conditions. This lets the penguins share warmth and conserve energy during extended times between forages and during breeding.
What type of adaptation is being described when penguins huddle together?
Penguins have to keep high body temperatures to remain active. They have thick skin and lots of fat (blubber) under their skin to keep warm in cold weather. They also huddle together with their friends to keep warm.
What type of adaptation is huddling?
Huddling is a behavioural adaptation that allows emperor penguins to save energy and maintain their long breeding fast (four months) through the Antarctic winter.
