Lambert, a critically endangered African penguin, has moved to a special geriatric island at the New England Aquarium in Boston. The island was created for Lambert and six other older penguins to ensure they age safely while staying with their friends. The idea started as a joke, but became a reality after staff noticed the penguins’ physical limitations. The island features flatter terrain and a carpeted path to help the penguins navigate. The older birds receive more frequent checkups and treatments for ailments like arthritis and glaucoma. The aquarium aims to provide a comfortable environment for these long-lived penguins.
