The Academy's penguins are part of the American Zoo and Aquarium Association's Species Survival Program, aimed at conserving this species in the wild. African penguins (Spheniscus demersus) live off the coast of South Africa and Namibia. In 2010, the International Union for Conservation of Nature classified the species as endangered, or at very high risk of extinction in the wild.

Sad

It’s the same boring thing everyday for these birds. Let’s lock them up in one room and keep them alive as long as possible for the entertainment of people.


Awesomeness!!!

I love this app
The Penguin Guy

I love how I can watch my favorite animal at any time of day. It makes me smile even when I'm sad. Just wish they had more camera angles. Because I see penguins in the far back left corner going down a hallway and I can't see them anymore. So it would be awesome if they would add another camera. This is also a really good educational app too. I give this a 5/5 it's the most perfect app in the world.


This app is dope

I absolutely love penguins, now I can see the little guys on the go! Like a previous reviewer said, consider installing a night vision module into your cameras. Also, consider an HD stream- both of which, I would PAY if they were available upgrades. Keep on waddling!


Fun, but bring in some emperors!

I love penguins. And my family loves watching them go about their penguin business in real time. Still, I miss seeing the stately Emporer penguins (these are the African type). Can there be a variety?


If...

I would love it if it would show me penguins and not a black screen

Though I love this app so very much. I do wish that the image quality was better for IOS devices.


Great

It is a really cool and educational app but I try to get my little sis to watch the learning video and she won't I suggest that you make the video more fun and exciting for little kids also you should make the app so you can learn about all sorts of different animals and not just penguins
