Penguins have been known to travel in numbers whether they are in the ocean or on the land. Jumeirah is usually not the first penguins to go out and explore new things, he prefers to ‘follow the colony’. He instantly wanted attention, and he was also called ‘the buddy’ because of it. Story :Jumeirah was one of the few penguins who came over to connect with trainers right away, only within hours of arriving at Ski Dubai. Penguins are known to mate for life, always returning to the same partner and nest every breeding season.

He still does it! Paul usually spends a lot of time in the pool, but also spends a fair amount of time with his wife Bubbles. He nips to grab the fish, then flaps it around a couple of times, and then eats it head first. Story :When Paul had just arrived in Ski Dubai, trainers called him ‘Nippy’ because of the way he eats his fish. Penguins’ eyes have a 3rd eye lip which is called a nictating membrane. Most trainers say Hadi has got the most beautiful eyes of all the penguins as they’re very light colored. He is usually very calm and quiet as to why he is called Hadi, meaning ‘calm or quiet’ in Arabic, although he does like to swim a lot. Story :Hadi is the oldest penguin in our colony.
