Bazoqala ukukhula kwiintsiba ezidala xa beseneminyaka engama-18 ubudala, ngokutsho kukaChris Gaus, ophakamileyo we-avoculturalist, olawula iipenguins.

"Sihamba ngeentlanzi ezininzi," kusho uGaus. "Amagweba awayekhethi. Baya kudla iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zeentlanzi. "
Umntwana osemncinci usacinga imimandla yabo, kwaye banomdla kakhulu, bahlala behlanganisene neenyawo zabasebenzi behlambulula indawo yabo. Xa iindwendwe ziza kukhangela, iipenguins zamantombazana zinyuka ukuya kwiwindow ukuze zibuke emva kwabo, uGaus uthe.

Kwakhona kugxininiswe kulondolozo, ukuzalisa, ukunyuka, uphando kwihlabathi lonke, kunye nokuzama ukugcina izilwanyana ekupheleni.
