King Penguins & Gentoo Penguins at Rotterdam

Penguin exhibit, Falklands, Oceanium

King Penguin & Gentoo Penguin mixed exhibit in the Falklands exhibit of the Oceanium. Since King Penguins are very sensitive to lung diseases, the air in their exhibit is constantly filtered and cooled, the temperature is kept at 8 Celsius.
The penguin exhibit contains 450,000 litres of seawater, its depth is four metres. The last picture shows one side of the exhibit where visitors can walk on artificial ice-floes above the swimming penguins.
 
Thank you Zooplantman, I just thought thats not enough photos in the gallery of Blijdorp compared to what a great zoo it is!

BTW, congrats to your thousandth post! :D
 
that is quite an outstanding Penguin exhibit. There's not many good ones in the zoo's here, at least not compared to that one.
