As demonstrated in this video, penguins swallow their food whole. Penguins don’t have teeth but they do have soft spines on their tongues and palate called papillae. The papillae face the back of their mouths and help to guide slippery fish down their throats as they feed. Each of our African penguins eats around one pound of fish per day. | New York Aquarium

🐧 Penguin Awareness Day 🐧 One of the fun things about penguins is their diet! African penguins hunt just off the southern African coast, where they feed on a variety of seafood, including sardines, anchovies, squid, and small crustaceans. When these fish become harder to find due to overfishing, penguins must travel farther to feed—making ocean conservation more important than ever. Supporting sustainable seafood choices helps protect their natural food sources. 🌊 📲 To learn more about susta

Our African penguin chicks, Ember and Echo have reached another exciting milestone — hand feeding! Over the past few months, they’ve hit lots of firsts, and this one is key. Hand feeding helps them transition from parental feeding to eating whole fish (bones and all!) — just like adult penguins. 🐟 It also helps them build trust and bond with our Penguin Keepers, an important part of their care journey. 💙 We’re so proud of these growing chicks! #AfricanPenguins #PenguinChicks #HandFeeding #TwoO
