Zoo Insider - Penguins Tour the Aquarium

We are excited to share this Zoo Insider! Join Rio and Chester as they take a walk through the Zoo’s aquarium with the help of keepers Kristi and Ty, along with our narrator animal care supervisor Jaime.
These two Magellanic penguins visit the sturgeons and the Michigan stream, interact with the other penguins through the glass, check out the kelp forest tank, say ‘hello’ to Kamren the giant pacific octopus, and visit the tide pool. You also learn about Rio and Chester, and the flock of penguins at John Ball Zoo.
Plus, we talk about the importance of making good choices when selecting seafood. Thanks to our Association of Zoos and Aquariums' partner, the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch program helps consumers and businesses choose seafood that's fished or farmed in ways that support a healthy ocean, now and for future generations. Their recommendations indicate which seafood items are Best Choices or Good Alternatives, and which ones you should Avoid.
We encourage you to make the best choices in selecting seafood and their website is a great resource. Healthy seafood choices mean healthy waters! They also have a great app that helps you choose ocean-friendly seafood at your favorite restaurants and stores.

I'm so glad you allow the penguins to walk around this way. They are such curious creatures and I think they need the stimulation.

Well, last year since that Pandemic shutdown, Universal Studios Hollywood has been left its theme park empty and restricted, while the Studios has been still busy for future movies. Also I found out a New Special is: Universal Studios Hollywood Tour Special. It's on NBC.

Are they African penguins?

[@JohnBallZooGR]

Thanks for the question! They are Magellanic penguins, originating from the southern tip of South America. Here's a cool website page on the species - www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/birds/m/magellanic-penguin/

[@thepiratepenguin4465]

@@JohnBallZooGR Thank you for your response, I always confuse the 2 since they look & sound so alike.
