In 2010, Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo made history by introducing Gentoo penguins, the first of their kind in the region! These amazing penguins, from a facility in the United States, live in a state-of-the-art enclosure that accurately simulates sub-Antarctic conditions, maintaining air temperatures between 2-4°C and water temperatures between 5-7°C, along with a special light cycle. The enclosure houses 16 penguins and features fun climbing structures and a slide.
