Penguins pick up a new home at West Midland Safari Park

A £500,000 habitat has been created to house a colony of Humboldt penguins at a Midlands tourist attraction.

West Midland Safari Park in Bewdley has officially opened its new Penguin Cove exhibit – the latest in a series of improvements to the site over the past year.

The cove has been built in the Discovery Trail area of the park and is designed to provide the penguins with a habitat similar to their native South America.

Nesting areas, a pool with semi-submerged beach, a waterfall and sculptures all form part of the new habitat.
