Penguins have a very large amount of body fat for insulation; this enables them to keep their core temperature very high, and allows them to circulate enough blood to their feet to keep them from freezing.

because they have a kind of heat exchange system in their legs, which means the heat doesn't travel all the way to their feet, so there body stays warm and there feet stay cool, but threes a constant circulation which means there feet don't get cold enough to freeze.
