The Detroit Zoo has some new residents on display: Seven rockhopper penguins from Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo.

The Detroit Zoo announced Thursday that the four males and three females have joined other rockhopper, macaroni and king penguins at the Penguinarium.

The new penguins arrived at the zoo in the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak in December. They had a 30-day quarantine period.

The Detroit Zoo says it got the Chicago penguins after the Lincoln Park Zoo's seabird exhibit closed.
