Penguins in zoos are charming, flightless birds that love to swim and waddle around. Their enclosures are designed to keep them cool with pools for swimming and rocky areas to rest. Visitors enjoy watching them dive into the water and slide on the ice, often in large, playful groups. Penguins are social animals, and their funny movements and vocalizations make them a favorite at the zoo. Zoos also help protect penguins by educating visitors about the challenges they face in the wild, like climate change.Â
