THEY DO indeed. They also have patellas, or kneecaps. It's just that we can't see them for the feathers. For more on penguin knees (and on other arcane questions), try David Feldman's "Do penguins have knees?: an Imponderables book" (Harper Collins, 1991).

Mary had a little lamb, she also had a bear. I've often seen her little lamb but i've never seen her bare.
