83 penguins happily waddle to their new habitat, the largest penguin facility in the world
- 8 years ago
DETROIT — Eighty-three penguins brightened up Detroit on Thursday, April 7, as they were photographed taking a stroll down the "blue" carpet.
It was moving day for the penguins from the Detroit Zoo. Gentoo, macaroni and other breeds made up the traveling colony. The happy waddlers relocated from their old habitat to the new Polk Penguin Conservation Center, the largest penguin facility in the world, slated to open April 18.
The penguins are moving on up. The new facility will have 325,000 gallons of 37-degree water to play in, 10 times the amount of water in their previous habitat. It will be the deepest penguin aquatic environment anywhere outside their native Antarctic waters, allowing them to dive 25 feet below the surface.
Zoo members can see the new penguin habitat from 5-8 p.m. April 18-21, April 25-28 and May 2-5.
