In the wild, gentoo penguins dive up to 600ft and reach speeds of 22mph but in captivity, they’re confined to a tiny 6-7ft-deep pool that strips them of their most natural instincts of swimming and diving.
These “near threatened” animals deserve better. #FreeThe15
🐧 Polly is one of 15 gentoo penguins at London Sea Life Aquarium. She was sent there 14 years ago, and hasn't been allowed to live under the sky and breathe fresh air since.

"Gentoo penguins are the strongest swimmers and the deepest divers of all birds, yet their enclosure offers just 6-7 feet of depth in which to dive - a pitiful fraction of the 600ft they can dive to in the wild."
