One moment they’re racing through the water, the next they’re waddling along the shore and showing off their playful personalities. 🐧🌊

It’s no wonder gentoo penguins are one of our visitors’ favourites! 💚

But there’s more to these incredible birds than meets the eye. Across the Southern Ocean, gentoo penguins face growing pressures from climate change, changing food availability and human activity, making conservation more important than ever.

By adopting a gentoo penguin at Belfast Zoo, you’ll be helping to support the conservation work that protects wildlife and their habitats.🐾
