Baby Penguins at the Tennessee Aquarium

June 24, 2009 Jen

The Tennessee is swarming with baby penguins these days. Just within the last 24 hours the Gentoo penguin pair, Peep and Poncho have laid their second egg.

I first discovered this story from my friend wiinterrr over at Gentoo Penguins at O’Higgins Station blog. She posted the “Tennessee Aquarium expecting more penguins“, I read further to find out the aquarium has had a few new penguin additions recently. So, I did a little digging around and found the Tennessee Aquarium on twitter where they announced the second egg was laid today. YAY for more penguins I say.

The aquarium has recently had a Macaroni chick hatch as well. You can see photos of the happy Macaroni penguins on the Tennessee Aquarium’s facebook page. If you snoop around a bit, you’ll also find at the “penguins nesting” photo album.

I visited the Tennessee Aquarium years ago loved it. I have been aching to go back the last year or so… now I know why; there’s penguin chicks waiting for happy hellos. If you are nearby stop by and shout a hello for me, will ya please?
