The Minnesota Zoo is “marching forward” with their new Heart of the Zoo project, which brought one of the most popular zoo animals to Minnesota: penguins. Penguins of the African Coast features up to two dozen black-footed penguins in a brand-new habitat. For the first time, Minnesota Zoo guests are able to experience these amazing aquatic birds eye-to-eye, above and below water, in a replica of their spectacular, wild habitat on South Africa’s famed Boulder’s Beach. Visitors are also able to hear the penguin’s through microphones and discover their loud braying calls.
