World Penguin Day - Cincinnati Zoo

Happy World Penguin Day! This day recognizes one of the most unique birds on the planet! There are 17 species of penguins, and all of their natural habitats are in the Southern hemisphere. Many of these penguins are sensitive to the effects of climate change, and as a result, many are having to migrate further to find their food, decreasing their populations as a result. Out of the 17 total species, 11 have been classified as endangered or vulnerable. The zoos penguins go for a little swim on World Penguin
