Penguins at Whipsnade Zoo
From the way they waddle, to their tuxedo like feathers, no one can resist the loveable charms of a penguin. Here at the Zoo, we’re lucky enough to feature two penguin colonies which you can visit, rockhopper and African penguins.
You can find these two groups of penguins living in an amazing natural environment, featuring custom penguins pools, stunning Dunstable views and even rock formations for our (you guessed it) rockhoppers.
Everyday visitors can learn about these endearing flightless birds through our daily talks - our presenters will share some amazing facts about these birds as they hop and dive to catch their fish.
African penguin
These penguins are from warm climates, coming from the beaches of South Africa and Namibia.
