Bring your happy feet along to London Zoo or Whipsnade to see the real stars - our South African black footed, humbolt and rock hopper penguin troupes. These lively seabirds like nothing better than feeding time, when keepers give the peckish penguins their favourite dish of sprats. Penguins might look ungainly waddling around on land, but they come into their own in the water, where the swim around with incredible grace.
