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 :)
