Do Penguins Have Knees?

I love penguins. They're so cute, and such resilient creatures. When you consider the harsh conditions the majority of penguins live in, it's pretty amazing what they do. But take a closer look, and ask yourself, "Hmm... do they have knees in there?"

At first glance, it would appear as though they don't. And their wallowing gait belies the truth...
