When is a penguin a chicken? When he’s afraid of the water.
As his feathered friends bathe happily in the pool below, Kentucky the penguin sticks to his perch and looks on – because he’s afraid of cold water.
The petrified penguin, refuses to take the plunge at Blackbrook Zoological Park, Leek, Staffordshire.
But staff at the zoo have seen 11-year-old Kentucky become a surprise hit with visitors due to his unusual phobia.
It’s possible that Kentucky, being the runt of the litter, so to speak, has less tolerance for cold water as the zoo staff tells it. On the other hand, he just might have internet access.
