Five penguin siblings are bringing festive cheer to visitors at a Japanese aquarium by waddling about in little Santa Claus outfits.

The African Penguins have been dressed up in the red and white costumes by workers at the Matsue Vogel Park in Shimane Prefecture.

Little bells have been hung around their necks so the birds jingle as they make their way around the park.

"We also have a Christmas tree made of a plant so people can take pictures with the penguins," said an unidentified employee.
