Do penguins have feathers?

Question

Penguins are birds. All birds have feathers. But does a penguin have feathers?

Answer 1

Yes, like all other birds, penguins have feathers. Penguin feathers are short, overlapping and densely packed. The outer part of the feather is waterproof while the inner down section traps an insulating layer of air, keeping the penguin warm in the sometimes freezing water. Unlike those of flying birds, the feathers on a penguin wing are very short

Answer 2

Does Penguins Have Feathers

Answer 3

Shiny, waterproof feathers overlap to cover a penguin's skin.
Penguins have more feathers than most other birds, with about 70 feathers per square inch.
Most penguin species go through one complete molt (shed their feathers) each year, usually after the breeding season. The exception is the Galapagos penguin, which usually goes through two molts annually
Feathers are highly specialized-short, broad, and closely spaced, helping to keep water away from the skin.

This is 'a problem' but easily solved. Did you know that a pine has leaves? The needles actually are leaves.

Same here. Although it looks like fur it actually is a feather coat a penguin is wearing.
