Do the penguins have access to the land at the foreground of this photo? If so then the exhibit appears to be enormous! Is there just the one species? Are those rheas in the adjacent enclosure? Is this a South American themed area?

I find it odd that there is a label for every species of Penguin in the world yet only one is exhibited, but many species in the zoo go unlabelled including most of those in the South American area.

Your right about the labelling!- A good example was the Tigers, the Amur's were labelled but the Sumatran's weren't. A lot of visitors did seem to think of them both of Amur's.

That is true on both counts, but I think the trouble taken with the Penguins makes the lack of labelling elsewhere even less excusable. At Sewerby Zoo's inspection last year (performed by.....well, someone with a Flamingo Land connection) the place was picked up on not having labels for the two species of Tortoise, yet F L has lots of species unlabelled - for example last year there were six species in the Lost Kingdom aviary yet only the Scarlet Ibis had a label.
