Penguin Preschool
03/12/2020
Our penguin chicks are growing up fast! To keep our penguin chicks safe as they grow bigger and start to explore their home we have moved them into a special creche that we like to call penguin preschool! In the wild penguins would keep their chicks together in a similar style to enable the adults penguins to head out for regular swims. This allows them to catch enough food for both themselves and their new baby.
