Lawmakers approve more leave days for parents

African penguins at Taipei Zoo will be allowed to explore visitor pathways during 15-minute walks on Nov. 19, provided the temperature is below 24 degrees Celsius. The initiative aims to encourage the penguins to exercise and reduce their risk of developing a foot condition known as bumblefoot, which can result from prolonged pressure on their feet. The walks will be voluntary. Visitors are asked to keep their distance, remain quiet and refrain from touching or feeding the penguins.
