Zoo employee in 'adorable peril' in penguin enclosure

PORTLAND, Ore. (STORYFUL) - A penguin at Oregon Zoo made life a little bit harder for a zoo employee tasked with cleaning its penguinarium.

Footage shared to the Oregon Zoo Facebook page on September 10 shows how “penguinarium scrubbing is fraught with adorable peril,” as a member of staff attempts to clean the enclosure – as a Humboldt penguin swims and pecks around them.

According to Oregon Zoo, it possesses one of the largest collections of Humboldts in the United States.
