The endangered penguins hatched at Chester Zoo during lockdownA penguin at an East Yorkshire zoo is celebrating her 30th birthday today, with zookeepers believing she is among the oldest penguins in the UK.
Rosie the Humboldt penguin arrived at Sewerby Hall and Gardens, near Bridlington, in 1990 and has surpassed the life expectancy for her species in the wild by around 10 years. Head zoo keeper John Pickering said:"It’s obviously a real shame that we can’t share it with the public in the normal way, but we look forward to welcoming visitors back to the zoo, and to the daily penguin feeding times, as soon as we are able."
Humboldt penguins are classed as vulnerable to extinction due to changes in climate and overfishing of their preferred prey species. An East Riding of Yorkshire Council spokesman said:"Life expectancy of Humboldt penguins in the wild is 15 to 20 years and Rosie is believed to be one of the oldest penguins in the UK."
Why the fuck are Penguins in Newquay They should be in their native habitat. Animals don't exist for idiots to gawk at.

Suprised you havent put masks on the penguins aswell.
They are spot on their task! Now if they could just train trump
The penguins shouldn’t be in a zoo as an animal on exhibition, anymore then a human being should be in a zoo as a human being exhibition. We’ve closed zoos down in some places in Canada, zoos are animal exploitation, everyone knows that.
