For no other reason than that penguins are cool and funky, here's a photo of a rockhopper penguin skeleton in the Cole Museum of Zoology at the University of Reading.

Photo of a skeleton of a rockhopper penguin on display in the Cole Museum of Zoology at the University of Reading. Note the heel is touching the floor, which is unusual for birds. Birds ancestrally and commonly have digitigrade feet, meaning the heels never touch the ground at any point during their walking cycle.
