The duration of their stay outside also depends on the weather. The penguins will be able to be outside until spring unless it turns unseasonably warm, said the Calgary Zoo in a release.

"It was clear to see that they were right at home in the snow and cold," the Zoo adds

The Penguin Plunge, the home for four species of penguins, had a grand opening in February of this year.

Guests were encouraged to wear black and white possible or even dress up as a penguin.

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article stated the Penguin Plunge features four penguins. In fact, it features four species of penguins.
