Kinguin has a new ambassador. Meet Kowalski 🐧

Some announcements are important.
Some are exciting.

And then there is this one.

Kinguin has officially adopted a penguin at the Warsaw Zoo.
And not just any penguin.

From today, Kowalski the penguin is our new ambassador.


 

👑 Ambassador reveal: Kowalski

Kowalski is a full Kinguin ambassador.
He doesn’t stream (yet). He doesn’t tweet (for now).
But:

🐟 he loves fish (like every penguin with self-respect)

🌊 he spends time with other penguins - because penguins are super social

🖤🤍 he looks great in his tuxedo 24/7

😎 he stays cool in every situation

 

This adoption is not just symbolic. Kinguin supports Kowalski’s care and daily needs at the Warsaw Zoo. He is under the professional care of experienced keepers and together we make sure he has proper food (yes, lots of fish 🐟), a safe and comfortable place to live, and good conditions every single day.

Who is the African (Cape) penguin?

Kowalski is an African penguin (Spheniscus demersus).

🌍 Penguins from Africa

Yes, really.
African penguins live near the coast of South Africa and Namibia.
Not all penguins live in ice and snow.

🔊 They are very loud

African penguins make sounds that are similar to a donkey.
That’s why people sometimes call them “jackass penguins”.
They use sound to talk, find each other, and stay together.

🖤 Every penguin is unique

The black dots on a penguin’s belly are different for each one.
It’s like a fingerprint. Kowalski has his own unique pattern.

🐟 Fish is serious business

They eat mostly fish, like sardines and anchovies.
For penguins, fish time = best time.

🏊 Water pros

In water, penguins are fast and smooth swimmers.
On land… they walk funny. And that’s part of the charm.

👥 Community first

African penguins are very social animals.
They live in groups, recognize each other, and stay close.
We feel that.


 

🐧 A day in the life of Kowalski

What does our ambassador do all day?

  • swims
  • chills
  • hangs out with other penguins
  • waits for fish
  • gets fish
  • waits for more fish

Simple life. Good life.

 

💙 King's Care

Kinguin is more than games and digital products. We believe in community, responsibility and doing good things beyond the screen.

By adopting Kowalski, we support animal care and help protect an endangered species - in a way that feels true to who we are.

 

Welcome to the team, Kowalski!

It’s official now.

Kowalski the African penguin is the new Kinguin ambassador.
Welcome to the family 💙
