5 things to know about rare observations of penguin emperor

Orlando, Florida – the largest and, no doubt, the most emblematic Penguin species in the world made their debut at Seaworld Orlando.

1. SeaWorld Orlando welcomed 16 emperors. Orlando’s theme park is now the only place where you can see this species in the Western hemisphere.
2. The emperors have come from Seaworld San Diego – considered as leading global efforts in the Emperor’s care and breeding since the early 1980s.
3. Originally from the hard and frozen landscape of Antarctica, the Emperors penguins are built for life on ice. They are known to dive deeper than all other species of birds.
4. SeaWorld Orlando has improved its existing Antarctic domain to meet the precise environmental needs of the emperors, which means that the temperature of the habitat is 28 degrees. “On a really hot day, to be here for 5 to 10 minutes, it does so much good,” said SeaWorld Orlando president Jon Peterson during a backstage.
5. Here is another fun fact on the Emperor penguins. The males incubate a single egg at the top of their feet under a brooding patch. The male fasts also during incubation, losing up to 45% of its body weight. Park customers can now find new penguins in the attractive attraction of Seaworld.
