The penguin has no teeth. But its mouth and tongue have sharp, bristle-like ridges. These bristles help it to hold on to slippery fish or krill and swallow it whole.
Penguins don’t do a lot of chewing so they don’t really need teeth anyway, they usually swallow their food whole.
Having said all of that, baby penguins are born with something called an “egg tooth”. This egg tooth is used to help them break out of their egg, as they grow the egg tooth disappears.
First, beaks and bills are the same thing and are terms that are used interchangeably referring to a birds… well their beak or bill. To answer the question, yes penguins do have beaks like all other birds.
According to antartica.gov.au there are 18 species of penguins in the world, although that number may vary between 16 and 20 with different sources. Different species of penguins may have different color beaks and at different stages of life.
For instance king and emperor penguins have black beaks usually with an orange stripe while the chinstrap penguin has a solid black beak. For the most part though penguin beaks are going to be black or gray possibly with a splash of color.
