Eight Humboldt penguins reached the Byculla zoo from South Korea, yesterday, bringing to an end all the controversy and speculation that erupted ever since it became public knowledge that the authorities planned to import the exotic birds.

Reports stated that this is a South American species of penguin, and officials say there are five females and three males. The public will be able to view them towards the end of the year, as they have been quarantined now. These tuxedoed entrants have inspired activists to protest on their behalf and have received their fair share of attention, with a good amount of press and debate prior to their arrival. Now that they are here, though, one hopes they are well taken care of.
