Penguins!!!
Jonathan Chester Author of Flipping Brilliant: A Penguin's Guide to a Happy Life
Penguins spend a lot of time dealing with temperature. They are warm blooded, just like people with a normal body temperature of about 100 degrees F.
Just like whales, penguins have a layer of fat under their skin called "blubber". Overtop of this they are covered with fluffy "down" feathers and overtop of those they have their outer feathers which overlap to seal in warmth.
Penguins rub oil from a gland onto their feathers to help make them waterproof and windproof
