New Zealand Hosts Penguin Sports Tournament 1
The Kelly Tarlton Arctic Encounter in Orakei, New Zealand, is gearing up to hold the first ever "Penguathlon". The five events that the King and Gentoo penguins will be competing in are: football, Frisbee, surfing, swing ball and waddle races. There are even special penguin games for children, who wear giant penguin feet (leopard seal insurance available at the ticket office). "New Zealand has the greatest diversity of penguin species and is arguably the best place in the world to see them. As well as being great fun, the Penguathlon gives people a fantastic chance to get up close with them as well as gaining a better understanding about their welfare," said Gregg Anderson, Tourism New Zealand's Regional Manager for UK and Europe.
