Emperor penguins have sex only once a year for a period of 2 to 3 minutes. The female lowers herself face down on the ice, supporting herself by her beak and flippers. The male mounts her, and holding her beak in his, balances himself by his flippers. Many times, he will lose his balance and fall to the ice, only to pick himself up and mount the female once again.
Sorry for the lengthy fact, but I just couldn't pass this one up. I bet you someone somewhere was like, "Baby, let's do it like penguins." Or not, cause there really isn't anything very sexy about penguin sex. I think it would be... awkward. Lots of stumbling, methinks.
