| its 'are' because its in present tense, otherwise 'look' would be 'looked'

| Most people chose "are"? The penguins are NOT wearing tuxedos. What is the 'as if" for?

| I agree that this is not conditional or subjunctive. Otherwise, it would be were.

| They really can look that way, so it's not a statement contrary to reality. Use "are" , not "were" in this sentence. They are not wearing tuxedos, but they appear to be - really.
