Early morning and late afternoon visitors to SAMREC in Cape Recife will be lucky enough to see how the penguins are fed as part of their tour. The guide explained the whole feeding process to us. As it turns out its not just a case of stuffing a couple of fish down their throats. Every fish that is given to a penguin is recorded and placed on their personal files. Some of the little guys have to still get medication as well with tablets hidden inside certain fish so the records are checked and each one only gets what he is supposed to get. After eating its time to head over to the pool for a morning swim after spending the night in their sleeping enclosure.
We went to Hawaii years ago, and there was a little penguin habitat at the hotel. They were from South Africa we found out.
