There seems to be a "day" for almost everything...national waffle day, international surfing day, and even Penguin Awareness Day. Today, you can celebrate the little waddlers at Turtle Back Zoo.
I love penguins for several reasons. First, they are so damn cute. Secondly, they mate for life--not many other animals, including humans, have the loyalty and determination to make a relationship work that long. And my favorite thing about penguins is that after Mom lays the egg, Dad carries it around and takes care of it until it hatches.
Turtle Back Zoo welcomes four new African penguins to its Penguin Coast exhibit. There will be crafts, videos, and activities to celebrate:
Penguin Awareness Day
