Hi Quinton -
I totally loved the penguins. They were so cute that I wanted to grab one and hug it. They move around by either waddling because their legs are so short or sliding on their bellies.
When I saw them at the rookery they were breeding. Some even had eggs that they were caring for.
I wish I could take one home but they have very strict rules. I even had to take a class on how to interact with the wildlife. You have to stay a certain distance from the animals. It's a bummer.
Thanks for writing. If you have any other questions, then please write me. I have to go because we are catching a helicopter in an hour. Is that cool or what? Talk to you soon.
Cameo :)
