There was a man who found a solo injured penguin on a beach near his home and he took it home and nursed it back to health until it was well enough to be released. Turns out the penguin wasn’t ready to say goodbye and he came back a few days later to visit with his friend! The penguin now regularly migrates with the local flock and when the flock is nearby he visits the man frequently. Probably the closest a typical person can get to having a pet penguin.
I saw a story awhile back( somewhere in Asia I think?) where this older couple had basically raised a sick penguin back to health and it stuck with them. They would take him into town and all the people started to know him. They would give him a little backpack and he would go into town to get fish and stuff sor snacks, super cute
If you think penguins are bad, try sea otters. Penguins will only bite. While you are busy with one sea otter, another will sneak up behind you and tie you shoe laces together while a third picks your car keys right out of your pockets.
The keepers probably don’t need the name tags anymore. If you work with a specific group of animals on a daily basis you learn to tell them apart as easily as you recognize different people. Your brain trains its self to differentiate based on traits same as for humans.
"Socially unsocial" - that's also a great description of Guinea Pigs (Which you should do a video about Clint!). They can't stand to be alone but they don't really like each other. With rare exceptions, they almost never cuddle unless it's really cold. So it's weird - they do badly alone but when in a group they don't seem very fond of each other.
I can confirm this. We have two Abbys and one small American (she’s just under 2 pounds), and they are bickering every other hour and do their fair share of spraying, the little one having to stand up for herself the most. I would say that having a bigger enclosure would help, but even during floor time, they’re always bundled up or in line anyway, never far away from the leader’s rear. Half the day, they’re assaulting each other in some way, yet they love and need to do that, haha.
This is a great description of chinchillas (which Clint needs to make a video of), they should have friends but will get randomly fight in the slightest inconvenience.
If you think that iguana, ferret, or snake droppings are bad, Penguins laugh at you. I volunteered at a zoo for a while and scrubbing penguin poo is a very time consuming, smelly process. I miss the penguins.
Honestly none of those are bad. the only animal poop that is actually terrible is human, cat or dog poop an the last two are only because the vast majority of dog and cat food is just like human food-processed garbage not really meant for their digestive systems. Ferrets are usually better because more ferret owners and food formulators actually care that they;re obligate carnivores and shouldn't be eating filled made of corn husks and other shite
@@BillyBobBrockali69 Yeah but unfortunately even the premium brands are full of crap the animals shouldn't be eating. The best option is to make you own food/feed raw
I have a retired service dog. I still remember her first interaction with Penguins. She was so fascinated. We walked up to the glass and she walked right into it! Absolutely adorable, but she backed up stood there and just was watching them swim. I still have the video of her just watching them. I also have a picture of her at the glass with a penguin on the snow. Also would getting a more northern species change the rating? There are the Galapagos Penguin which are closer to the equator.
African penguins are probably the most reasonable of the unreasonable penguins, but you still need the cool filtered saltwater tank, and all the other issues with noise, smell, space, feeding cost etc are unchanged. If the biggest issue for you is a refrigerated room then sure but otherwise it isn't a huge difference
Penguins are top tier "Do not hug despite all temptation otherwise" critters, and probably the most interestingly adapted tiny dinosaurs. Happy holidays and thanks for the delightful content! Cheers to the Loveland folks!
@@dustind4694 There's too much vapid positivity in your message. You should really curb that, it's very wimpy. Either (1) find better reason to compliment someone or (2) be more critical of things. You need to be more honest with yourself even if it comes at the expense of social harmony, for social harmony is worthless.
Sure, that makes sense, I'll just alter my own opinions and statements to match your criteria for worthwhile expression, that'll make me less wimpy and more of a well-defined individual, who's really pushing back against society.
@@neo-filthyfrank1347 Dustin was just expressing appreciation for an interesting video. There is no need to be rude by calling someone vapid. That isn't "social commentary" it is just rude. Politeness costs nothing.
Lmao I used to work at a zoo and getting to interact w the penguins after hours was easily my favorite part. Met a couple big cat babies too, but I couldn't really get very close.
I wish there was a zoo closer to me, I’d love to work with all these animals that I would never get to otherwise, even if I did have to clean up after them
@@ethancooper1560 the best part is that I was basically on the janitorial staff as a seasonal job. Once you're an employee though it gets easier to ask to do unofficial tours. It just depends on how busy people are/how much they like you. Bringing donuts every now and then goes a long way, might work as a visitor too. So if you ever move closer to a zoo that might be where I'd start 😉😂
Theses videos where you put these crazy animals to a pet owner perspective are the best and probably there's someone that had a momentary stupid idea to own a penguin and you shoot it down and saved a penguin from getting hurt or a depressing life. You are a animal saint, Merry Christmas.
It wasn't a gentoo, but hey, was out on a friends boat fishing off the coast of northland in New Zealand, and met a bunch of little blue penguins out and about. Seems like a much more budget-friendly option. And you end up with a boat.
@@tigerwolf2243 this has happened lots of times in the UK, people taking penguins from zoos. There was even one where a boy stole one from a French zoo then smuggled it back to the UK in his back pack.
Next bird you gotta do HAS to be rock pigeons. They're even easier to feed and keep than chickens, more friendly and make less noise. Unfortunately not enough people recognise just how great they are as pets. And they come in all sorts of crazy forms like chickens do. You don't even need a run or aviary for them. They can live in a large dog crate.
Really excited to see you did the penguin. Didn't even think they would be considered, but I love penguins and think they are maybe the coolest bird personally
My dream since I was a little kid has been to pet a penguin. Mostly because I saw them in a zoo exhibit and when they’re underwater they look like they have fur, almost like a seal. But they’re birds, so obviously they have feathers. So I’ve always wanted to pet one to know if they feel more like feathers or fur. Maybe I need to modify this 30+ year dream (geez, I’m old) to looking at a penguin (and it’s feathers) very close up, rather than touching one.
I participated in a penguin encounter moment with Gentoo penguins a couple of times at small zoo/marine animal park in Benalmadéna, Spain which was such a fun experience. One fun tidbit about it was that the penguin caretakers are such anime fans, they named their penguins after anime characters, especially Dragon Ball characters.
I remember a story from like a decade ago where a kid on a school trip kidnapped a penguin in his backpack in Dublin zoo, the penguin was discovered on the bus and returned to the zoo.
14:04 I love how peng 1 is like bro get him he’s making us look friendly peng 2 yea hey cut that out bite him or we are not friends!! Peng 3 dang it I love humans fine bites Clint!!
Last time i was at the living planet aquarium, ava the penguin was being very entertaining and was just so fun to watch! Not sure if she actually was but seemed like she was interacting with us through the glass it was lovely
Penguins are like human childrens, great when you can just hang out then have someone else be the full time caretaker. (I love being an uncle, get to play with the littles, then give them back to my siblings when they get a bit much lol)
Rock Hoppers are my favourite penguins. I made an entire book explaining penguins for a project before as a kid and also had recorded sounds of the penguins at the zoo. It was a lot of fun, 99% certain my mom still has it and I can find it.
I've personally interacted with Harlequins and Rockhoppers at Shedd. Honestly, they seem to be content to just hang around, they don't really like to be handled physically but they don't seem to have any issue with being in close proximity with people. I have to 100% agree with your handleability assessment with the caveat that smaller penguins would be easier to handle.
i just want to thank you a lot for this videos, most of my life i was very afraid of any kind of animals, but now i just want to study their life and other aspects, and to add more, now i just love penguins, thank you very much!
Sorry, I missed this when you first posted. However, I only discovered your channel about 8 months ago. My undergrad degree is in Biology from Univ Missouri, Columbia. I love your channel! My late mother grew up in Chile before and during WWII. Her father was part owner of the huge nitrate (ancient bird guano) mine near the port of Antofagasta, Chile. She told me Admiral Richard Byrd was a friend of her father's. On one visit to their house, he brought my mom a pet penguin. My guess is that the penguin was either of the Magellanic or Humbert species. It could have been a Galapagos penguin, but she said it was pretty big. Anyway, the penguin had one friend because the Admiral brought a second one for her little sister. This would have been in the late 1930's, so I am sure no special permissions or licenses were required. I wish I had asked more about the Penguins and Admiral Byrd.
Mister Popper lied to me! He kept his in a refrigerator with a pet door, and he said nothing about the poop situation. Seriously, that book made me want a penguin flock so bad as a kid.
They ARE adorable. I loved zoos when I was a kid, but I hate them now, because I see them as prisons for animals. I wish I could set them all free. But I LOVE Clint, he's the best host on the internet.
Dude, 7c is not that cold! I was thinking they'd need minus temperatures when you were saying really cold! Where I live you're lucky if it ever gets warmer than that during the winter.
This was amazing, I was smiling the whole video, they are just such a treat to watch. This video was the perfect Christmas gift. So cool that they offer penguin encounters... I knew penguins were hare to keep in captivity, but I had no idea how much food they ate every day, wow!
They were these kinds of penguins too, and taken from the wild. Also the movie was obviously made by anti-zoo people I don’t think any credible zoo would try to separate a bonded group of animals.
I just want to say that i didn't know that Gentoo was an actual type of penguin and not some meme-ified "generation two" naming scheme for a distro of linux which is where i've been hearing the word nonstop for years now
You could probably bring up that care score for a Little Penguin, they just need Tasmania temperatures and are way smaller- smaller enclosure and less food!
Loveland Living Planet Aquarium, my home aquarium! Such a beautiful facility, and so amazing to see how much larger it's gotten and better since it's first design from the Gateway in Salt Lake City.
@@ClintsReptiles While I wish I could, I actually don't live in SLC anymore! I live in Australia now! (catching all kinds of cool shinglebacks and brown skinks)
I fourth this! Ravens especially pique my interest as they're deeply involved with my local folklore and stories. Probably a big reason for this is their sheer intellect!
I moved away from Utah many years ago. The next time I visit friends and family there, I need to check out this aquarium. I think I would enjoy spending some time with the penguins.
well, now I have finally a life goal: become a Bond villain so I can have my own gentoo penguin colony. Easiest would be probably building my base where they live. Hmmmm.
So then taking care of penguins is nothing like in the book ''Mr. Popper's Penguins''?! It was my favorite childhood book. I have always been crazy for penguins. But I'd never seen one up close until I went to Hawaii. What? Yes, one of the resorts had penguins. Apparently some penguins don't mind subtropical temperatures. I was surprised and delighted. I can't recall what the placard on the tank said, but I'm guessing they were Galapagos penguins. Great vid.!
Merry Christmas! Enjoy the gift to the world that are penguins!
You brought out a video of my favourite animal, and it showed up just after I woke up on Christmas morning. Thank you.
MERRY CHRISTMAS CLINT!
Ok this video officially means Christmas 2021 beats Christmas 1995, and 1995 involves a BIKE with STREAMERS.
Merry Christmas Clint!! 🐧

"might be the worst pet bird"

Nah, that just requires a lot of fenced land and food and water, pinguïns require an ocean
Well, in handling it, if you scare it, it may rip open your belly
If you think penguins are bad, try sea otters. Penguins will only bite. While you are busy with one sea otter, another will sneak up behind you and tie you shoe laces together while a third picks your car keys right out of your pockets.
I thought Coyotes were worse Coyotes always have those TNTs. Heard they use them for hunting roadrunners?
Mongooses are the same except 10 times better at stealing everything
I mean, that’s what having ferrets is like 😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is sea otters another word for ethnic or immigrant populations?
I was really impressed that the keepers could tell them all apart. Then I noticed that they all had name tags 😂
Same..
The keepers probably don’t need the name tags anymore. If you work with a specific group of animals on a daily basis you learn to tell them apart as easily as you recognize different people. Your brain trains its self to differentiate based on traits same as for humans.
I was also thinking this lol
Penguin cuteness is literally irresistible. Look at how happy everyone was just to get bit
Does anyone have the patch notes for those who want to upgrade from a Gen1 Penguin to a Gentoo?
Thanks
Lmaooo thats what I always thought of the name when I was younger
I got the gen3 bruv
I was thinking they were saying gen 2 like it was the generation of captive born and bred
there is an OS named Gentoo, it’s not very approachable or easy to work with just like these penguins ha
If you get a Gen4 penguin, it has a golden crown

This makes me miss volunteering at my local zoo! Maybe I'll get into the zoo volunteer "scene" where I'm moving to (central Florida - lots of zoos).
Penguins are basically flightless seagulls.
well, now I have finally a life goal: become a Bond villain so I can have my own gentoo penguin colony.
Easiest would be probably building my base where they live. Hmmmm.
Also get some sharks with fricking laser beams attached to their heads.
5:00 I'm like "Is it snowing in there? That's hardcore. Oh... the camera is behind the glass and the glass is dirty."
So then taking care of penguins is nothing like in the book ''Mr. Popper's Penguins''?! It was my favorite childhood book. I have always been crazy for penguins. But I'd never seen one up close until I went to Hawaii. What? Yes, one of the resorts had penguins. Apparently some penguins don't mind subtropical temperatures. I was surprised and delighted. I can't recall what the placard on the tank said, but I'm guessing they were Galapagos penguins. Great vid.!
