I’m aware that penguins can be aggressive if threatened or provoked, but like most animals in the animal kingdom, as long as you don’t harm them, they’ll most likely leave you alone. Although I must add, Adelies are so funny because they are so aggressive.
I worked with a Humboldt’s male who disliked me from first meeting, and would target me at every opportunity.
that penguin has an interesting personality lol
Penguins have personalities alright, the penguin I mentioned would stab most of everybody it came across including keepers. Yet he still liked people quite a bit and kept trying to get through the pen that seperated us from the larger exhibit. Him and the other King Penguin next to him named Charlemaine have been just outside that pen on all of my visits to their enclosure.
A book could be written about him
When I was around seven years old. I actually set my homework down on the table outside while I was cleaning up dog poop with my sister. The dogs ended up eating part of my homework, so the next day I just brought in the chewed up half a sheet of paper that was once covered with math problems.
I think for my tenth birthday we had a celebration at the Fort Worth Zoo, but while they were doing a presentation with my family in this little classroom, my grandfather attempted to pet an African Penguin, which in turn, bit him
Even when I saw Happy Feet Two as a young child, I still thought it was weird because Magellanic penguins live in South America and Fairy penguins live in Australia.
well during warmer months they can make contact but not during harsh months and they regularly come into contact with each other.
