“She’s Got This”: Fans Left in Awe as Baby Penguin Practices Swimming at Popular Zoo

Penguins are lovely creatures that attract humans whenever they are around them. They are friendly and playful. Their body shape, habitat, and ecosystem have made them excellent swimmers. The swimming skills are inbuilt into them, which they master through practice.

Recently, in a social media post, a baby penguin was seen practicing swimming, which caught the attention of internet users. The baby penguin learns to swim by practicing and improvising on its mistakes. The same can be seen in the clip where the baby penguin paddled in the water in his initial swimming lessons.

Baby penguin perfecting its swimming lessons

In a clip shared by Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium, a baby penguin named Regina was seen perfecting her swimming skills with the help of zookeeper Stephanie. In the caption, it said that the penguin chick has lost her fluffy feathers and has joined the adult Magellanic penguins at Penguin Point. The two-month-old chicks’ parents are Orange and Yellow. The chick, according to the assistant curator at the zoo, molted her soft feathers earlier this month and is taking an interest in water.

In the clip, her interest can be witnessed when the keeper puts her in water and she starts to roll her body after floating for a few seconds. She continues to do so many times, along with fast diving into the water and reaching the other end in a blink of an eye. It looked like she enjoyed her time swimming and came out of the pool for the first time by herself through the stairs in her swimming lessons. The post became an instant hit online and grabbed 1,400 likes, 12,000 views, and loads of comments.

Internet users left awestruck

Regina’s swimming skills have astonished the internet users who came forward to register their amazement in the comments section of the post. One fan said, “Evidently, learning to swim involves a lot of splashing just for the fun of it,“ expressing that while learning to swim, a person does more splashing than necessary and eventually controls it after practicing. Another fan wrote, “She is having fun!” marking out her enjoyment during swimming.
