Blackbrook have a very large new exhibit complete with underwater viewing and oversized aerial walkway. They could consievably house another species.

there is or was talk of king in with the humboldts and a new exhibit in the middle of the walk way for african penguins. but then this area was origonal meant for torrent ducks.

The last 4 were sent to Rotterdam. I don't know if Whipsnade will be getting any more, though since they now have gentoos I doubt it.
