Пингвинарий

On July 29, 2016, the official opening of the Penguin house took place.

Its inhabitants arrived in the city of Novosibirsk from the Moscow Zoo in midst of May 2016. Until now, there were no penguins in the zoo collection. The first penguins were Humboldt penguins: 2 males and 5 females. All birds born in 2015. Only through year they will become sexually mature and will create couples. Humboldt penguins have very strong family ties and prefer to stay in a group.

Humboldt penguins require a special approach and conditions of housing. The penguin aviary must be equipped with sophisticated air conditioning and water supply system. Such an aviary with swimming pool was built in the new pavilion for small monkeys and penguins. In addition, Humboldt penguins eat mainly Baltic herring fish, which the zoo specially buys for them.
