Penguin Up-Close Tour in San Diego SeaWorld

Ever wondered how does it feel to touch a penguin?

[@TimurIskhodzhanov]

Some people in the comments expressed concerns that the penguin is shaking because he's scared. As we were told off camera, penguins feel too hot when they stay at room temperature for a long time, and they shake their wet feathers to cool themselves down; similar to how humans shake when they get out of cold water on a hot day. This penguin walked himself into the room, looked curiously around, and was never held in place. There were a lot of opportunities to just run away if he really felt scared at any point.

My concern is why this poor person thing is in captivity instead of its clan😔

[@gloryshadow8710]

Run away where to? Where could the penguin exactly run away?... To the wild?

[@janettmusic]

Petting a penguin is a hidden desire I never knew I had... until now!

[@yashodhaprabuddhini7673]

Yeah exactly 🥹

[@gloryshadow8710]

Sad that the penguin doesnt have the same desire. He just wants to be in the wild as he is supposed to be.

This lady looks so happy and grateful to have the job that she has!

[@Mark73]

The video doesn't include her cleaning up penguin poop.

[@ROBOT_RAPHAREX]

Who's also envious after seeing girls petting the penguin

[@CenturianEagle]

So lucky I love gentoo penguins!!

[@jayronhurley2171]

Gentoo Penguins are also the fastest Penguin ever! Looks like it’s wearing headphones and shaking it’s flippers and head to a beat!

[@lahleholivia7398]

Penguins are adorable

[@FinisterreTV]

[@DarthPizza777]

Penguins are so cute😊

[@verenameinecke9865]

Oooooch, das muss so toll sein einen Pinguin streicheln zu dürfen 🥰🤗🐧😍😘 Ich bin ja sowas von neidisch😇😅

[@jayronhurley2171]

How about interacting with an Emperor Penguin? Is it possible to do that at the Seaworld San Diego marine park?

[@TimurIskhodzhanov]

After the longer encounter you see on this video, we went to the main penguin exposition area, and did briefly interact with what seems to be a king penguin (just checked the photos from our visit). Whether you can touch a King Penguin depends on whether one of them approaches the "visitor area" during your visit. I vaguely remember that they didn't have Emperor Penguins as those are too sensitive to temperature, but I'm not sure. To find out exactly which kinds of penguins they have, you may want to give them a call.

These guys are like small people.

[@ÑEZ0688]

True, they're like cute midgets!

[@blahblah...o5665]

[@cmoneytheman]

[@adunaraoficial]

Cute!

[@kritarthtripathi7157]

Is that a normal size penguin?

[@pelinkizilkus3884]

I think it depends on its kind. Some species are bigger than this one.

[@Olga-1409-ru]

Как я вам завидую! Так хочется погладить это чудо.

[@jad1079]

She was shaking? Why?

[@TimurIskhodzhanov]

The air is too hot for her!

[@Eckoolt]

Why hes shaking?

[@TimurIskhodzhanov]

If I remember correctly, because it's too hot for him or he's too wet

[@jacekmisiak804]

They "love" to pet because they frightened!

[@constantreader8760]

I'd rather watch them from a respectful distance. I have a spouse for petting.

[@Azarath_Metrion_Zinthos]

@@constantreader8760 😭💀

[@zeastudios7108]

Do the penguins know who they mating with lol?

Replied in a pinned comment. Thanks for being concerned about the well-being of penguins :)

[@ROBOT_RAPHAREX]

I wonder why nobody was talking about penguins anymore

[@devb02]

Kowalski analysis..

[@gurpreetsingh-mo8oc]

Super

[@kikoyang-mi1fc]

부러워 ㅠㅠ

[@CM-cq8hc]

A cada dia que passa eu me recuso a comer carne de animais. Eles são lindos e inteligentes...Eles teem sentimentos ❤

[@Lucas_Tulic]

Los pingüinos no son criados (ni genéticamente alterados) por el ser humano específicamente para consumo! Los animales de granja en general, llámese vacas, pollos, gallinas, cabras, patos, cerdos, conejos, etc, etc, fueron alterados genéticamente por el ser humano ESPECÍFICAMENTE para CON-SU-MO! Su único fin es ese. Si hay gente que quiere comprarlos para adoptarlos como mascotas, bien por ellos, yo prefiero darles el fin para el cual fueron creados, alimento.

[@lindanguyen6202]

Is This A Gentoo Penguin?

[@TimurIskhodzhanov]

Yes (as far as I remember)

[@Cheldeo]

I've always wanted to touch a penguin, but my dream is to rub their bellies, I know I'm not supposed to but I feel like their bellies would be really soft because my own pet birds have really fluffy bellies

[@Will45_]

That "bracelet" looks uncomfortable and restricting.

[@TimurIskhodzhanov]

И ещё одно видео

[@marina4august]

не заводите еще питомца себе? пингвин - отлично! назвать можно хоть Васей :)
