Listen "Penguin Quest with Jo Walker"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textWhen Senior Marine Keeper Jo Walker started at Taronga Zoo, she was instantly spellbound by penguins. She fell in love with the look and inquisitive nature of this unusual bird, and was fascinated by their need to survive on both the land and sea. Her passion for penguins was ignited in Antarctica, beginning her life’s quest to see every single species of penguin in the wild."When I went down to Antarctica, I think it changed my life and perspective… it was the most pristine, serene and beautiful place. I remember so clearly those penguins – you could just see them flying underwater. I felt so blessed to see them in the wild that I made it my life’s mission to see every single species of penguin out in the wild."
