Anyone can live in a house. Zoo penguins now have an entire neighborhood to themselves!
After several months of construction, the penguin’s house in Zoo It was reopened. New name, old inhabitants: King, Rockhopper and Humboldt penguins still live in Penguin-Kiez.
With its snow machine, the house is perfect for the racy wearer and is one of the coldest places in the capital even in the middle of summer.
