    Penguins without their feathers are still pretty chonk, and decidedly penguin-shaped.

    Their feathers (adult feathers, anyhow) are actually rather short but their coverage is extremely dense. The feathers make them waterproof, not insulated. Their thick skin and layer of fat is what makes them coldproof.
