Once criticised for bringing penguins to Mumbai, the Byculla Zoo now has an excess number of these “happy feet” and is looking to exchange them with other zoos in the country. The zoo currently has 15 penguins.
The zoo authorities had brought eight penguins—three males and five females—from the Coex Aquarium in Seoul, South Korea in 2016. One of them later died. At the time, the authorities faced flak for not having adequate infrastructure to accommodate the foreign birds.
