“All of the King penguins were brought in as eggs and hatched here. They consider themselves little people and consider us big penguins. There's no fear on their part. By far, they are the most visited exhibit we have here.”
“This study provides a unique opportunity to have direct access to an aspect of the natural world that would otherwise be inaccessible. This research also may have real applications in addressing skeletal deformities that occasionally occur in captive penguins. By establishing the normal mechanics of penguin walking, we can better understand how to recognize and deal with abnormalities.”
