Bored penguins enjoy playing with bubble machine

Bored penguins enjoy playing with bubble machineDue to the COVID-19 situation, Humboldt penguins at the Newquay Zoo in Newquay, England have not seen visitors over the past few months.

The zoo has been re-opened recently but is getting very few visitors. This has made the penguins bored and lonely.

However, now they are having fun and enjoying themselves thanks to a bubble machine. This is a machine that produces bubbles that the penguins can chase around.

The bubbles have different shapes and colours. This keeps the penguins active and energetic as they enjoy chasing them around. The bubbles do not cause any harm to the penguins.

Many zoos around the world are also doing similar things to keep animals active.

Humboldt penguins are fast swimmers, reaching speeds up to almost 50 km per hour. In the wild, they are usually quite active while catching food to eat. So, even in the zoo, their natural behaviours need to be continued otherwise they will not be healthy.
