The Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha Nebraska now has 2 new penguins. A king penguin and a macaroni penguin recently arrived from a rescue group in South Africa. When the two birds were found, zoo officials said, they were severely dehydrated and have since been nursed back to health.
This will tie the zoo for the most species of penguins in captivity in North America – with 6 species.
I’ve never been to the Omaha Zoo, but it’s now on my list of places to take my camera. :D
