London Zoo: Meet The Penguins

we love the chocolate biscuit version
and are partial to the cheesy jokes 
Q. How does a penguin build its house ? 
A. Igloos it together
heh heh.

but what we love even more
are REAL LIFE PENGUINS!!!!

and where can you meet REAL LIFE PENGUINS?
Australia? Galapagos Islands? the Antarctic? 
well, yeah you could do. but we met them right here in 
LONDON.
