Meet Me

Black-footed Penguin

Black-footed Penguin

The black-footed, or African, penguin does not dwell on the ice like so many of its cousins. Instead, it lives in cold currents off the coast of South Africa. These noisy birds are also known as “jackass penguins” because of their shrill calls. They bray for mate recognition, when angry, or to say hello.

Activities

Sea Otter

Sea Otter Feedings

Join Danny and Spanky for their daily fish feeding, then watch the otter duo play games with their keepers. A favorite is the “toy retrieve” game, when keepers toss balls into the deep waters for Danny and Spanky to bring up to the surface in exchange for a treat. It’s like ring toss for sea otters! You’ll also have a chance to ask the keepers you questions about sea otters.
