Majid Al Futtaim is celebrating five years of Snow Penguins at Ski Dubai. This month marks the anniversary of when the feathery family of King and Gentoo penguins arrived at their new, snow-tacular home in 2012.
Since it was established half a decade ago, the Snow Penguin encounter has proved extremely popular with residents and tourists alike. Now with a colony of 29 penguins, the habitat highlights how Ski Dubai’s Snow Penguin Breeding Programme has gone from strength to strength, nearly tripling in size.
This Valentine’s Day marks two years since Ski Dubai witnessed its very own Penguin Proposal, with Speedy the Gentoo proposing to Sneezy using a carefully selected pebble, a romantic trademark of how the species behaves in the wild. Human couples have also chosen the unique audience to celebrate their declarations of love, with 14 proposals taking place during Penguin Encounters, to date.
