Gone but not forgotten. Great auks suffered countless atrocities from humans that ultimately lead them to their demise, a unique giant bird that made its home in the Northern Atlantic Ocean, the very word penguin originally referred to this incredible bird. What can I do but honour their memory as it's due.
Features
Unique models for juvenile and adult + albino variants (Brown mutation). Functional UI, Zoopedia and education infoboards. Based on the African penguin, uses its enrichment items.
