You can see them in this photo of their skeleton.

All vertebrates that have hind legs have knees.

No, because you don't see penguins walking around like us, do you?

I say yes because they are known for being able to jump. They are flightless, as you probably know. As far as I know, in order to be able to jump, you need to have knees.

As an extra note, elephants are incapable of jumping.

Penguins, in common with all birds, have a different arrangement of joints in the legs from those in mammals. However, they do have joints equivalent to our knees - the difference is that these joints are much closer to the hip than on mammals.
