Penguins are famous residents at Edinburgh Zoo and their time at the zoo dates back almost to the beginning. In 1914, shipping company, Christian Salvesen gifted several penguins, starting with 4 kings, 1 gentoo and 1 macaroni penguin. The first penguin birth outside the southern hemisphere took place at Edinburgh Zoo in 1919. It was in 1951 that the penguin parade began, started by a curious gentoo who ventured out of his enclosure when a gate had been left open.
