PENGUIN SHUFFLE


As the newest penguin in the colony, Purple/Pink is in the early stages of learning how to come into the backup area with the rest of the colony through what our trainers call an "off exhibit shift" behavior. It is important to train this safety behavior as it is what allows trainers to call the entire colony indoors for whatever reason. 🐧 See Purple/Pink slip and slide before successfully shuffling inside!




MAKE YOUR OWN ORIGAMI FISH


In honor of this week's Ocean Ambassador's Conservation for All theme of Fisheries Management Policy Engagement, we're folding paper to make our own school of sustainable fish!
