“Humboldt penguins are special because they are afraid of cold and heat. So we create a penguin hall for them specially, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, so as to provide the most comfortable environment for them and hope them enjoy a happy life in the ocean park.” The relevant person of the ocean park said that these penguins are temperate ones. They live in a mild climate which is not as cold as you expect. So in winter, the workers in the ocean park may turn on the heating equipment for them.
