She was named by HH Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum after a place in Lebanon. Story :Amsheet is one of our younger girl King Penguins and she’s very much a princess. Squeaky still does it though, she might never grow out of it! This ‘squeaky’ noise is usually a sound that chicks produce when they’re asking their parents for fish, and most penguins grow out of this habit not long after their parents stop feeding them. Story :Squeaky has earned her name by constantly squeaking when she eats or even sees a fish. Bubbles was given her name as she really likes it when we blow bubbles for her, she just loves anything shiny! Out of all the penguins, Bubbles has a more insecure personality and she loves always having another penguin close to her, which is usually her husband Paul. Story :Like many other types of birds, penguins love shiny things. Penguins have special preening gland that produces oil so they can spread it all over their feathers, making it water proof. Mona Lisa loves cleaning her feathers a lot, which is similar to you brushing your hair. When she first arrived to Ski Dubai, she only wanted to eat two fish at the same time, though she quickly learned that one fish at a time is ‘okay’ too. Story :As the oldest female penguin of our colony, Mona Lisa is a real diva. Some penguins take part in allopreening which is a form of mutual grooming. WallE also loves spending time with his human friends as he’s an incredibly loveable penguin. For him, it doesn’t matter if it’s a snow-wall, a fence, lights on a wall, picture panels or any other wall, he loves them all. Story :WallE was called WallE because he loves to stare at walls! Anytime he sees a ‘new’ wall, he loves spending time exploring it. He was named McFatty because he had problems coming out of his egg when it hatched, he was so fat! Penguin chicks have what some call an “egg tooth” that they use to break out of an egg. He likes to boss the other penguins around and often claims the attention of trainers, not letting other penguins come close to ‘his’ trainers and ‘his’ guests. Story :Even though McFatty is not the oldest penguin, he surely is the most dominant one. Penguins have been known to travel in numbers whether they are in the ocean or on the land. Jumeirah is usually not the first penguins to go out and explore new things, he prefers to ‘follow the colony’. He instantly wanted attention, and he was also called ‘the buddy’ because of it. Story :Jumeirah was one of the few penguins who came over to connect with trainers right away, only within hours of arriving at Ski Dubai. Penguins are known to mate for life, always returning to the same partner and nest every breeding season. He still does it! Paul usually spends a lot of time in the pool, but also spends a fair amount of time with his wife Bubbles. He nips to grab the fish, then flaps it around a couple of times, and then eats it head first. Story :When Paul had just arrived in Ski Dubai, trainers called him ‘Nippy’ because of the way he eats his fish. Penguins’ eyes have a 3rd eye lip which is called a nictating membrane. Most trainers say Hadi has got the most beautiful eyes of all the penguins as they’re very light colored. He is usually very calm and quiet as to why he is called Hadi, meaning ‘calm or quiet’ in Arabic, although he does like to swim a lot. Need a sober ride? Save $5.Story :Hadi is the oldest penguin in our colony. This alcohol drinking game is not meant to lead to you becoming sick due to over-consumption of alcohol. On a side note: Bad tosses should be re-tossed (obviously), and be sure not to let people cheat by catching the coin and deciding whether or not to flip it onto their hand or not (we suggest deciding beforehand).Īs always, please remember to drink responsibly! Should the third call in a row be successful, that person may retrieve an article of clothing to put back on, and they can choose who to pass the coin on to for the next turn. If successful, the caller may now either pass the coin to whomever they choose, or flip once more and attempt a third correct call in a row. If guessed correctly, the coin is passed to the right, otherwise it's passed to the left and the caller must either sip their drink or strip an article of clothing off.įollowing a correct guess, the caller then has the option of re-flipping the coin for a chance at guessing correctly a second time in a row. Due to the short nature of turns, it's probably best to play this game with 6 or more people to allow time for the alcohol to set in as well as increase the potential for peer-pressuring others into stripping.Ī turn consists of someone flipping the quarter and calling whether it will lands on heads or tails (while in the air). This is a great stripping drinking game that isn't overly complicated and virtually ensures two things: clothes will come off and/or people will be drunk.
