4. Its wide body leaned left, and its footprints curved across the snow.
5. It leaned right on smooth ice, then spread both flippers wide.
6. The young emperor penguin paused with one foot forward beside a low snowbank.
7. With both flippers open, it found a steady, wiggly path toward the water.
8. Penguins have short legs and wide bodies, so waddling helps them balance as they move.
