Wild penguins may not shy away from humans when they see them, or even take the initiative to approach them. This is because they do not often see humans, are curious about humans, and want to know more about humans. Still, it's best not to get too close to wild penguins when you come across them. Otherwise, it may cause them to panic or affect their reproductive activities. Penguins living in zoos also like to be close to humans because they are more familiar with humans.
Why are penguins not afraid of people and why do they like to be close to humans

1. why are penguins not afraid of people

Penguins generally live in the southern hemisphere, and there are many penguins in high latitudes, especially in the Antarctic continent, where many species of penguins are distributed. When humans go to the Antarctic continent and encounter penguins, they may not escape, and sometimes they will actively approach humans. It seems that penguins are not afraid of humans, because they do not often see humans, nor do they have the experience of human harm. Although they do not seem to be afraid of humans, humans should not be too close to them, because humans are relatively unfamiliar to them after all, if close to them may think that humans are a threat, it is better to maintain a certain safe distance.

In addition to these wild penguins, there may also be some penguins living in zoos. After training and feeding, these penguins are generally familiar with humans. They are not like wild penguins that do not often see people, on the contrary, they are very familiar with humans, so they are not afraid of people.

2. why do penguins like to get close to humans

As mentioned above, wild penguins living in the Antarctic region may not run away when they encounter humans, but may take the initiative to get close to them. This is mainly because they do not often see human beings, are very curious about human beings, want to understand human beings. Although they will be close to humans, it is better not to approach them rashly. Sudden approach may cause an uncomfortable reaction or shock. Especially when penguins are breeding, they should not be close to them, otherwise it will affect their normal reproductive activities. Penguins living in zoos also like to be close to humans because they are more familiar with humans.
