Do penguins have knees? They sure do! Although they are descreetley hidden underneath their feathers. Anatomically, all birds have legs, they are also almost alike. Penguins, like other birds, have legs divided into three segments. The upper segment is like our thigh. The middle segment, like our shin bone. And the drumstick segment, like our feet. When we see flamingos =), or other birds with long leds, they appear to posses a knee turned backwards, but these are not the equivelent of a human knee. Penguins, Flamingoes=) and other birds do have knees, with patellas (knee caps) that bend and function much like their human counterparts. Penguins are birds of coarse, but their element is water rather than sky! Penguind may waddle on land, but their legs help make them swimming machines. Penguins use their wings as proppellers in the water, and their elongated feet act as rudders. So rest assured. Even if u cant see them, penguins have legs (with knees). And they know how to use them!!! ZOMG I WIN BECAUSE PENGUINS PWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)
