Visitors watch king penguins walking on a snow-covered walkway at Asahiyama Zoo in Asahikawa on Japan's main northern island of Hokkaido, Thursday, Dec. 15, 2005. A group of the penguins take a walk over a distance of about 500-meter (1,650 feet) inside the snowy walkway twice a day to loose their weights. 'This is for penguins to help ease their lack of exercise during the wintertime,' said a zoo spokesman. (AP Photo/Kyodo News)
