Watch the behind-the-scenes action of filming a penguin’s “internship” at Penguin Random House’s book distribution center in Maryland. Read more below, and watch the finished video here:
The African penguin is an endangered species whose population has declined by 90% since the turn of the 20th century. The current wild population is estimated at about 52,000 birds. The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore works to support African penguins and their habitats, and maintains the largest colony of African penguins in North America, breeding the species at the recommendation of the AZA Species Survival Plan for African penguins.
