penguinlike
Black-and-white bird-esque
Resembling or characteristic of a penguin—in appearance, movement, or manner.
The word typically evokes the bird's distinctive waddle, upright posture, or black-and-white coloring: He walked with a penguinlike shuffle across the ice.
The waiter's penguinlike tuxedo completed the formal atmosphere.
