Kids urged to dress up as penguins and waddle for London Zoo
Young animal lovers are being asked to don feathers, beaks and webbed feet to take part in a penguin waddle at London Zoo.
A colony of a hundred young waddlers will arrive at the zoo before it opens to the public so they can get their flippers on, before beginning their journey to Penguin Beach.
Participants must be up to the age of 10 and will each make a pledge to raise £20. The funds will be used to care for London Zoo's penguins and to support its conservation work helping vulnerable penguins in the wild. Prizes will be awarded for the best dressed penguin and most money raised.
Waddlers will also be able to observe their flippered friends at Penguin Beach, which is England's largest penguin pool, as well as enjoying a talk on these special birds, to inspire the penguin keepers of the future.
For the rest of the day, they will be free to walk or waddle around the zoo and see some of its other amazing creatures.
The penguin waddle takes place at London Zoo on April 18. For more information, visit: www.zsl.org/penguin-waddle
