Two king penguins recently went on display in the Two Oceans Aquarium. The penguins, Ivan and Jennifer, are from the National Zoological Gardens of South Africa in Pretoria and are being housed by the Aquarium temporarily while the Zoo upgrades their enclosure.

The penguins have settled into their new surroundings and are enjoying swimming in the pool which is adjacent to the Afrisam Children’s Centre.

Jennifer and Ivan currently share their exhibit with eight rehabilitated rockhopper penguins. Both species occur naturally on the rocky shores of sub-Antarctic islands such as Marion, the Falklands and Prince Edward Islands.
