Humboldt Penguins waiting for their fish (Explored)

These penguins come from Peru and are an endangered species. They rely on fish from the cold waters of the Humboldt current and if the water temperatures rise, it could affect the fish thence the penguins.

These ones can be seen at the Bioparc at Doué la Fontaine in Maine et Loire (49) France, a zoo dedicated to the protection and conservation of endangered species of bird and animal.

These penguins can give quite a sharp nip - as I saw when they were moved here from their old quarters !!
