Penguins can both swim and crawl.

The given statement is false.

Penguins are birds that live in water and are excellent swimmers. They propel themselves through the water with their flippers, and their streamlined bodies and dense feathers allow them to move quickly and efficiently. 

Penguins cannot crawl and must walk or waddle on two legs when on land. Their short legs and large bodies make them clumsy on land, but they excel in the water, where they can swim and dive with great agility.
