“This is a free-choice activity for the birds, meaning they are not forced to participate, but luckily for royal onlookers, the colony loves to walk and usually chooses to.”Visitors to the zoo can watch the 14 king penguins roam the grounds, which could include the newest king chick to join the waddle. The king penguins Diana, Grace, Arthur, Solomon, Cleopatra, Josephine, Louis, Phillipe, Henri, Napoleon, George, Boudicca and Rupert could all be out and about for the daily, 10:30 a.m.
The penguins head from their home at the Penguin Plunge to the Discovery Trail Bridge, taking about 15 minutes to return home.The penguins don’t go out in certain weather conditions, however. The walk is cancelled if it warms above 5 C or drops below -25 C. The birds also don’t march the zoo grounds if it’s too windy outside.
