Do penguins have knees?

Question

?????????

Answer 1

Yes they do, however in relation to their body they are a bit different then where you might think. The knees are found further up on the leg under the fluff of the belly. Mind you clear not up into the belly, they are just hidden under the fluff.

Answer 2

Penguins, in common with all birds, have a different arrangement of joints in the legs from those in mammals. However, they do have joints equivalent to our knees - the difference is that these joints are much closer to the hip than on mammals.
