In his sleek black-and-white feathers adorned with golden accents, King Arthur, the king penguin, stands tall and proud. His regal demeanor and striking appearance make him an icon of the zoo, earning him the affectionate nickname “The Christmas King.”
Arthur’s favorite activity is collecting pebbles. During mating season, he meticulously gathers the smoothest, most colorful stones he can find, arranging them into a perfectly shaped nest. Visitors are often mesmerized by his dedication, watching as he carefully selects and places each pebble, sometimes even stealing from his neighbors when he thinks no one is looking.
On one snowy evening, Arthur became the star of the zoo’s holiday light display. As twinkling lights reflected off his icy enclosure, Arthur stood at the center, his golden feathers shimmering like a crown. The scene was so enchanting that it became an annual highlight, with visitors returning every year to see the majestic king penguin in his winter wonderland.
