How do Antarctic Penguins move quickly on the ice?

In: Penguins [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

Penguins either waddle on their feet or slide on their bellies across the snow, a movement called "tobogganing", which allows them to conserve energy and move relatively fast at the same time. They also jump, with both feet together, if they want to move more quickly, or over steep rocky terrain.

They have evolved to survive there.
