Nine penguin chicks from the Wildlife Park have been successfully moved to zoos in England.
The birds, born on the Island, have been relocated as part of a European breeding programme.
Three males were safely transported to Dudley Zoo, and six females to West Midlands Safari Park to further boost breeding efforts.
Kathleen Graham, General Manager at the Wildlife Park, says they've made a significant contribution to the captive back up population of the Humbolt species, and helped boost the conservation work in the field.
