@Hamikins: Yes.
@Zoocrazy: It lived in New Zealand, so I'm not sure about typical, icy exhibit.

then go for a rocky coast type exhibit, like those used for penguins like gentoo.
i suggest using alpine as the biome.

Or search for little penguin exhibits. Danny made a FS in the AE recently. But what Furka said will do too. Not all penguins live in icy environments...

You could find almost any sort of environment in NZ. I would suggest no snow. Gust a coastal exhibit with gnarled trees, dark sand, and grass; but only if you want to jive the exhibit look like it was made now. If you want to make it look more prehistoric then don't put any grass in since NZ didn't really have grass, apart from some large tussocks till Europeans came. ;)

Wiki:

Flora

Flowering plants (angiosperms) spread during this period, although they did not become predominant until the Campanian stage near the end of the epoch. Their evolution was aided by the appearance of bees; in fact angiosperms and insects are a good example of coevolution. The first representatives of many leafy trees, including figs, planes and magnolias, appeared in the Cretaceous. At the same time, some earlier Mesozoic gymnosperms like conifers continued to thrive; pehuéns (monkey puzzle trees, Araucaria) and other conifers being notably plentiful and widespread. Some fern orders such as Gleicheniales[19] appeared as early in the fossil record as the Cretaceous, and achieved an early broad distribution. Gymnosperm taxa like Bennettitales died out before the end of the period.[citation needed]
Terrestrial fauna

On land, mammals were a small and still relatively minor component of the fauna. Early marsupial mammals evolved in the Early Cretaceous, with true placentals emerging in the Late Cretaceous period. The fauna was dominated by archosaurian reptiles, especially dinosaurs, which were at their most diverse stage. Pterosaurs were common in the early and middle Cretaceous, but as the Cretaceous proceeded they faced growing competition from the adaptive radiation of birds, and by the end of the period only two highly specialized families remained.

The Liaoning lagerstätte (Chaomidianzi formation) in China provides a glimpse of life in the Early Cretaceous, where preserved remains of numerous types of small dinosaurs, birds and mammals have been found. The coelurosaur dinosaurs found there represent types of the group Maniraptora, which is transitional between dinosaurs and birds, and are notable for the presence of hair-like feathers.

Insects diversified during the Cretaceous, and the oldest known ants, termites and some lepidopterans, akin to butterflies and moths, appeared. Aphids, grasshoppers and gall wasps appeared.[20]

Hope that helped. xD
