Have you ever looked at a penguin's feet before? Don't get me wrong, my eyes aren't naturally drawn to their feet either. Their figure and way they waddle is far more distracting then their bright pinkish feet, along with their dark claws we call toe nails. However, it is made up of incredible durable and tough tissue that when you do see a penguin carcass along the shoreline in Antarctica the only part really remaining intact is in fact their feet.
It allows them to walk on freezing cold ground, snow and ice. It also allows their eggs and chicks to remain off the cold ground remain warm enough in the freezing world they are born into.
