    i really hope this place is at polar temperature, or else its pure torture for the “emperors”

    Those arent emperor penguins… i think they’re called Jack ass penguins because of the noise they make… similar to that of a jack ass, aka. donkey,

    Awww they’re so cu…wait a second. Shouldn’t they be dead in this heat? Or are housed in a controlled environment?

    if you like penguins ,you should visit my beautiful country, South Africa and Cape Town specifically. There is a natural habitat there for penguins called Boulders Beach. You actually get to physically walk amongs the penguins there, they are a colony of about 3000 Jackass Penguins.Next year, when, you go to the Soccer World Cup in SA, make a turn at Boulders Beach, and dont forget to visit Spier, where u can, for a minimal amount*3kd or so* go in and touch and actual cheetahs, thats amazing as well…

    hey!
    i was at the scientific center today and took pics of these penguins. These penguins are from South Africa originally but they shipped them in from London. So no… they don’t need cold weather.

    I think that is by far one of the most depressed group of penguins I have ever seen.
