    Hi dea! Penguins must keep their feathers in the best state of cleanliness and well oiled when they go fishing. the oil comes from a small area near their tail. So they have to bend back to collect oil on their beaks, then spread it around the feathers. They have very flexible bodies. Thank you for asking such an interesting question 😃
