Not all penguins live in freezing sub-zero temperatures. African penguins are found off the south-western coast of Africa. Temperatures soar in the day and plummet at night.

Our penguins are given a choice of both extremes. They are free to go for a swim or relax by the pool at their sunny outdoor exhibit. If it gets too hot, they can opt to retreat to their air-conditioned den cum nesting area.
