Hemker ZOO!

Today we went to the Hemker Zoo in Freeport MN. You can click on the link here. The two facts I learned today were...
1. Most penguins live in warmer climates
2. The African Black Footed Penguin (see below) has 100 feathers that fit in one quarter

There are 4 penguins at the Hemker Zoo and the penguin below is named Ruby.
When I touched her white feathers they felt softer than the black ones. Something that surprised me when I touched her was her wing felt bonier than I thought.
I had a great time!
