Our penguin colony is hard at work gathering pebbles and building nests to impress their mates! The Aquarium team set up the exhibit with rocks and platforms. With the penguins on a northern lighting cycle, breeding season typically begins in March. Penguins are monogamous and often mate for life. If a female accepts a male’s pebble, they’ll build a nest together to raise their young, with the rocks serving as protection for their eggs. Mates will return to the same spot each year. 🐧 | Pittsbur

If waddling was an Olympic sport, these two newbies would have won a gold medal! Thanks to everyone who came out today to see the ceremonial March of the Penguins with our two new male Magellanic penguin chicks, who just graduated from Fish School! They were in perfect sync as they waddled around Penguin Island and past their adoring public. The rest of the penguins were also quite curious! The winning name of a naming contest with names selected by our animal care staff is "Lemon!" | San Franci
