Penguins are birds and have the same anatomical arrangement as other birds. They have short stout legs but have the same bones and joints as all other birds from hummingbirds to ostriches.

Penguins, being bird-like, do not have knees. They are such grace and speed under water. I was watching some recently at the St. Louis Zoo.

Yes. Penguins appear to have very short legs and no knees because only the lower leg is externally visible. Their knees and upper legs are feather covered, hiding them from view.
