Penguins going through their annual moult
FUN FACTS ?? The Humbodlt penguins are currently going through their annual moult (a little like how your dogs and cats will shed their fur). This is also known as a "catastrophic moult" because they lose all of their feathers!

At the moment they look very scruffy, bald and will also will look a little bigger too, as they store more body fat during this time. They will grow all of their feathers back in 3-4 weeks and will look like they are wearing brand new shiny tuxedos!
