Why do chinstrap penguins take lots of tiny naps? Let's find out!

Did you know that penguins can sleep in a very different way compared to other animals?

Chinstrap penguins take many short naps that only last a few seconds. It's like they're taking quick power naps all day long!

This way, they can keep an eye out for any dangers while still getting enough rest.

Scientists think this sleeping habit helps them stay safe while living in noisy penguin neighborhoods.
