A Real Penguin's 'Internship' at Penguin Random House

The African penguin is an endangered species whose population has declined by 90% since the turn of the 20th century. The current wild population is estimated at about 52,000 birds. The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore works to support African penguins and their habitats, and maintains the largest colony of African penguins in North America, breeding the species at the recommendation of the AZA Species Survival Plan for African penguins.

Penguin safety is very important to us. All activity was monitored and deemed safe for the animals by professional Animal Care staff from The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, which is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

Thank you to the staff of The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, and our animal ambassadors Lilly and Tetra.

Welcome everyone who found this because of the secret link on Phillip DeFranco's video. (And everyone else seeing this.) Please comment if you'd like a book recommendation! Any genre, any parameters, etc. We live and breathe books.

I wish ads were more like this. Less lying and more to smile and laugh about.

Only thing that could've made it cutter is if you gave her a little hard hat when operating the forklift.

Although, I don't know what OSHA rules apply to penguins 🤔

for those that live nearby or are visiting the area consider the Penguin Encounter at the Maryland Zoo. Just be sure to wear washable shoes (because no matter how cute, they are birds!)

I am an avid reader (apx. 3-4 books a weeks) and love your website for book recommendations. But this video made my day. I am a HUGE penguin collector - I have over 600 figurines in many different formats. You made my day on a dreary Monday! Thanks so much.

Great! What a delightful video. Thanks for sharing. I too live and breath books. I find it great to be living at a retirement age with books and digital refreshments. J who lives in Southern MN and is 84.
