Called Penguin Beach, the new £2 million facility will be home to the zoo's
|
|
resident population of South American Humboldt and Antarctic Macaroni
|
|
penguins.
|
|
|
|
With sandy beaches and rocks it may not look like the sort of place you would
|
|
imagine penguins living in the wild but as Adrian Walls of London Zoo's bird
|
|
section explained: "These penguins are South American and sub-Antarctic so
|
|
they are used to rocky outcrops and sandy, tundra areas."
|
|
|
|
Mr Walls hopes that having the penguins in this environment will enable them
|
|
to live, breed and raise their young naturally without so much human
|
|
intervention.
|
|
|
|
Penguin Beach is five times larger and three times deeper than the previous
|
|
penguin pool at the zoo and features a large underwater viewing platform where
|
|
visitors can watch the birds diving for food.
