Humboldt's Penguins
Old 10-07-2008

During 2008 Chester Zoo raised 15 Humboldt's Penguins from 15 chicks hatched. 5 of these babies will be coming to Blackbrook to enlarge the group. Blackbrook already house 5 adult penguins from Chester.

Blackbrook have a very large new exhibit complete with underwater viewing and oversized aerial walkway. They could consievably house another species.

The last 4 were sent to Rotterdam. I don't know if Whipsnade will be getting any more, though since they now have gentoos I doubt it.
