The Honolulu Zoo welcomed four African penguins on Wednesday afternoon. The male penguins — named Huey, Avery, Beazle and Elrond — swam and frolicked in their exhibit, located in the African Savanna section. According to zookeeper Natalie Wilson, the birds had once preferred to live out of the water at their original home in the Seneca Park Zoo in New York. Since arriving in Hawaii, however, they have spent most of their time in the water. Wilson said the zoo plans to introduce females and eventually grow the population to 25 penguins.
