Their patches are dark brown with black and orange color to them and trickle getting lighter down to the knees and stop; from the knee down the leg is white, some say they look like white stockings.

Emperor penguins have to live in very cold conditions ranging from -60 to 0. While living in these harsh conditions the Emperor Penguin must maintain a constant internal body temperature of 35-40. Penguins have a narrow temperature range in which their body functions most effectively so their body must adapt according to the season and habitat. The Emperor Penguin’s body is covered in overlapping feathers which act as an insulator to prevent heat loss. Also to retain heat the Emperor Penguins huddle.The process of maintaining core temperature is called thermoregulation.
