Penguin Walk
In the winter, St Louis Zoo takes their penguins out for a little walk on Sundays, weather permitting. It was definitely perfect weather for penguins yesterday - didn't make it out of the teens. Kate, Sabrina and I bundled up and braved the cold to get up close and personal with natures most formal bird.
The keepers were so calm. They kept either in front of or in back of the birds. More than once they had to herd one back from behind the line of on lookers.
If I didn't know better, I would think those penguins were trained to walk in line.
The birds appear to be as curious about us as we are about them.
We ducked back inside the exhibit after the parade went by. We quickly found the temperature inside the penguin exhibit was warmer than outdoors.
We caught the end of the parade as the penguins head back inside. We were even closer to them.
This determined fellow was back inside long before his friends.
Despite the cold, or maybe because we suffered for our fun, we loved the Penguin Parade. If you are within medical travel distance of St Louis, I would recommend visiting my new feathered friends.
