A penguin's iconic black and white coloring is a form of camouflage, helping to keep them safe from predators while swimming.

Gentoos are the fastest penguin swimmers, reaching speeds of around 35km per hour - that's almost 10 meters per second!

Meet our penguins
Our colony was established in January 2012 with 10 Gentoo and 10 King penguins. They hatched from eggs that were laid in San Antonio, USA - and have since had chicks of their own! Today we have more than 40 healthy, happy penguins at Ski Dubai, who are provided with the best care in a custom-built home.
