Terrestrial locomotion in penguins: it costs more to waddle.

B Pinshow, M A Fedak, K Schmidt-Nielsen.   

Abstract

The energetic cost for walking is relatively higher for penguins than for other birds or for quadrupeds of similar body mass. The morphology of penguins seems to represent a compromise between aquatic and terrestrial locomotion wherein both energy economy and speed suffer when the birds move on land.
