There was cause for Happy Feet at
Lotherton Wildlife World this week as its newest residents celebrated the
opening of the first phase of the £1.2m redevelopment of the attraction. The
colony of 17 Humboldt penguins are now nicely settled in to their new home at the
Aberford estate’s Coastal Zone after moving in from their previous homes, zoos
in Dudley and Newquay, a few weeks ago.

Lotherton Hall’s huge new 120,000
litre penguin pool, complete with above and below water viewing areas, gives
the creatures plenty of opportunities to show off their swimming skills to
visitors. Leeds City Council’s animal curator, Peter Quince, said: “It’s been great
to see the penguins settling in so well to their new home and they really are a
fantastic addition to the Lotherton family.
