| King penguins parade in style.
In winter at 13.30 hrs, the king penguins at Zurich Zoo go on parade, providing that the temperature is at least
10°C. Any warmer and their majesties get overheated on their way to visit the elephants and back. Try as you
may, you can't help comparing these creatures to titled dignitaries taking
stately, measured strides to an aristocratic social gathering. King penguins are usually found in the southern
hemisphere. But not all live in the icy temperatures of South Georgia and the Falklands - as these pictures
show. |
