Yeah, it’s a miracle no other penguins were harmed
Others more than likely headed into the water but she was to slow
Very good thought...

Just found out that she was actually one of the dominant penguins in the group and she passed away trying to protect the other penguins 
That’s sad, has any work taken place to prevent a similar incident occuring?Just found out that she was actually one of the dominant penguins in the group and she passed away trying to protect the other penguins

I mean the zoo has a very secure enclosure so i think that they probably accidentally left the gate open

Observations from my visit on Sunday:
The old panda house was open with only the female and the armadillos inside with them putting in substrate and ropes although the old platforms were still there.
All the giraffes are there and seeing them all together is pretty amazing. Most of them are on the lawn next to the house, with the mini ones being in the tent. There's also a couple in the meerkat plaza.
I took the photos on my new camera and I'll post them when I get time to connect them.
