Penguins at the NEW Zoo

Wednesday, 19 Oct 2011

SUAMICO - It's Wednesday, time for our weekly trip to the NEW Zoo.
The NEW Zoo has 12 of the worlds 120,000 African Penguins.
The name penguin comes from the Welch word "pen" meaning "head" and "gwyn" meaning "white."
Their bodies are made to help them swim and they have 80 feathers per square inch.
They have much better eyesight in water than they do on land.

Neil also talked about the escaped exotic animals from a game preserve in Ohio. 

He shared his thoughts on what would happen if any of the animals escaped from the NEW Zoo.
