Inver Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 If there is any of you who love penguins, they are busy sitting on their nest here at Edinburgh zoo....two hatched so far...difficult to spot them though. http://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/EZPenguinCam.html Quote
frankie Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Awwwww, adorable penguins! Thanks for the link! Quote
Inver Posted May 15, 2013 Author Posted May 15, 2013 5 babies now apparently...every time I look though they are always just sitting on them.. Quote
frankie Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 I have the same problem! I've not seen any baby penguins so far. But it's fun watching how sometimes one penguin goes over to another couple to see what's up and then gets shoved away And one time, I swear, I saw a penguin grab another penguin's tale Ouch!! Quote
Inver Posted May 16, 2013 Author Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) Yes Frankie I saw the tail pulling too....you could almost here them shouting...'get off'... Just been viewing the penguin cam and can see a wee baby one ...center nest...so cute Edited May 16, 2013 by Inver Quote
Inver Posted May 16, 2013 Author Posted May 16, 2013 Penguins basking in the sun today at Edinburgh zoo...just seen the keeper goin round with a bucket of fish feeding the nesting penguins. Quote
frankie Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 I always miss those! No, wait, you just posted that, I'll go and see if they're still there!! Quote
bobblybear Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 Just watching this now. Haven't seen any babies - there are 5 of them, and 44 eggs. Quote
frankie Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Quick! Watch it, it's feeding time or something! Quote
frankie Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 I just saw a penguin take a dump, and almost on his/her mate! The poor bugger was standing behind the other one, but luckily was a bit to the left of the actual rear so avoided any penguin crap on it Also, one of the penguins is lying on the ground, it looks like it's decided to sit on a penguin egg on the ground... Although I suspect there's no real egg there... These penguings are awesome, they've done the most curious things! Once this fella was waving his wings back and forth, really frantically, and then it rose to a nest, and actually went to stand on top of the penguin that was sitting on its egg there, and they put their beaks together and the fellow on top just kept walking on top of the other, in one place, and waved his wings around. It was the most curious sight ever! Quote

Can't see any pandas, but the monkeys are pretty active. Quote
