Detroit: Penguins get star treatment as they march down the blue carpet to new facility

Penguins at the Detroit Zoo marched along a light blue carpet towards their new home, the Polk Penguin Conservation Center, on 7 April. The new centre, which opens to the public on 18 April, is being touted as the largest facility for penguins in the world. It’s the largest facility for penguins in the world – some 33,000ft2 in total – and boasts a 326,000-gallon, 25ft deep aquatic area for over 80 penguins to swim freely and for visitors to soak in the sight.
