Description

Streaming live, 24/7

Warning: Cute alert! Pocket Penguins, streaming in real-time from the California Academy of Sciences, provides an intimate view into our live African penguin exhibit. Watch the birds swim, dive, flirt, nest and relax from any one of three live webcams. Listen in as Academy biologists answer questions from visitors during meal time, daily at 10:30am and 3:00pm PST.

The Academy's penguins are part of the American Zoo and Aquarium Association's Species Survival Program, aimed at conserving this species in the wild. African penguins (Spheniscus demersus) live off the coast of South Africa and Namibia. In 2010, the International Union for Conservation of Nature classified the species as endangered, or at very high risk of extinction in the wild.

Love it

I love this app because my one year old loves watching the penguins so much. Every time we turn it on he gets so excited he claps. It’s better than him watching cartoons, and it’s like we go to the zoo every day. Also love that we can hear when they have the Q and A with the people twice a day, we learn something every time. The only time we don’t like the app is when it’s not streaming.

I absolutely love this app

This is my new favorite app (And that’s coming from an 11 year old who won’t stop watching Netflix sitcoms). This is a very high quality app, with very in detail q&a. I checked the facts, everything they say is true. Would rate infinity stars if I could.

Fantastic idea

What a great idea. I love this app.
I do wish I could see a bit more of the water so we could catch a glimpse of some swimming penguins.
Edit: I just realize you can tap the screen for underwater view. I wish I could give 6 stars.
