-
- What do the penguins eat?
- Is this the same or different as what they would eat in South Africa?
- Why do you think the animal caretakers keep track of how much each penguin eats? Do you keep track of what you eat?
- Why do you think the penguins wear wing bands? Is there a difference between penguins with bands on their right or left wing?
