Every morning, our rockhopper penguins move from their beach in the Penguin Exhibit to their outside pool at the AfriSam Children’s Play Centre. Except on Thursdays. On Thursdays they detour past the Ocean Basket Kelp Forest Exhibit, where they spend some time swimming among the tall kelp plants and large fish.
The penguins love their time in this 800 000-litre exhibit. It makes for great enrichment for them as well as great photos!
The rockies’ swim happens before the Aquarium opens, because as much as they like their kelp forest swim, they also look forward to reaching their outside pool!
Thank you to Kevin Eave, one of our penguin volunteers, and Sonia Peck for taking these lovely pictures.
