Love at the Zoo
- Salient
- There are those who believe that the penguins at Wellington Zoo are nothing more than a conspiracy theory. How else can you explain visiting the zoo multiple times and never catching a glimpse of them? Or only seeing their tiny feet and bellies peeking out from their cozy nesting boxes? Some question if they're real or just well-made statues. The keepers in charge of the penguin exhibit seem to think these birds exist, but VUWSA's Emily Bull thinks otherwise. However, I am strongly against this notion. In fact, I was so passionate about it that I contacted the zoo specifically to learn more about my beloved (and entirely real) penguin couple: Harriet and Nettle. And through my research, I discovered how they (along with some other adorable animals) fell in love.

Off To The Zoo!
- Wellington Homeless Women's Trust
- When was the last time you went to the zoo!? For most of us, it's been many years since we last visited Wellington Zoo, but for some, going to the Zoo has never really been an option – So this was a very exciting outing for us and first time experience for some of our wāhine! We arrived nice and early with our packed lunches and spent the whole day exploring all of the cool enclosures.
