Penguins actually knees!! 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. Thank you audio Zenith for expanding my mind yet again.

I was told no, but hey, who’s brave enough to dither with that feather skirt around their ankles?
