Humboldt Penguin
Seen at The Sea Life Centre, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.
The Humboldt Penguin is only found along The Pacific Coasts of Chile and Peru. The present population is around only 10-12000 breading pairs and unless fully protected they face extinction within a few decades.
All the penguins at Sea Life Centres are captive bred and are breading.
Unfortunately, Humboldt Penguins moult annually, it takes about a month. We picked the wrong time to see them at their best
