先日発表になった「キングペンギンが２羽、和歌山からやって来る」話で盛り上がりました～(^_^)！ もともと、上野動物園から葛西臨海水族園に来る際には公開の予定はなかったキングペンギン。それが、後に公開をし、ひなが２羽も生まれ、今回、新たな個体を２羽呼ぶに至った過程を振り返ると、感慨ひとしおです♪
ペンギンに限らず、どんな生き物でもそうだと思いますが、いい環境がなければ繁殖することはないと思います。葛西臨海水族園の環境は、ペンギンたちにとって十分いい環境だと私は見ていて感じています。
期待の新人（ペン？）２羽の来園は４月２１日。公開がいつになるかはわかりませんが、早く環境に慣れて、ウララちゃんやリクちゃんとペアになってくれることを願っています！
Good evening, this is Tori's writing. Yesterday I visited Tokyo Sea Life Park. I couldn't talk with keepers, but I could talk with an another staff.
We talked so much about the news that two King Penguins will come from Wakayama. :D When they came to Tokyo Sea Life Park from Ueno Zoo, there was no plan to exhibit them to visitors. But the park decided to exhibit them, then two chicks were born, and this time two newcomers will come. I'm very happy to look back the history!
About not only penguins but all animals, I think if the environment is not good, babies will not be born. The environment of Tokyo Sea Life Park is enough for penguins, I think.
On April 21, two newcomers will come. I don't know when they will be exhibited, but I hope they will get used to the park as fast as possible and they will make a pair with Urara or Riku!
