Answers
Explanation:
Answer: Penguins should be acclimatised when kept at a place away from their natural habitat because their bodies are so streamlined in order to drag away the water.
Their bodies are streamlined to reduce drag in water. Their wings, shaped like flippers, also help them "fly" underwater at speeds up to 15 mph. Penguins have to keep high body temperatures to remain active. They have thick skin and lots of fat (blubber) under their skin to keep warm in cold weather.

Penguins are normally habituated to live in the cold environment and with ice frozen place.
But when they shifted from their place to another environment like Jijamata Udyan in Mumbai where the climate is very so they need to acclimatize in that environment to survive in the new environment.
In the Mumbai, the climate is very hot and also humid so the penguins need to take some time to adjust the place.
