Baby penguin on "walk about."

One of the Tennessee Aquarium's baby penguins is big enough to go on "walk about" behind the scenes. This gives the baby macaroni a chance to get some excercise while spending time with the keepers off exhibit. Senior Aviculturist Amy Graves explains about these fun excursions and why this little penguin baby looks a little "scruffy" right now.

How precious! I love the very end where it tucks into the boots.

That was so funny! It was as if the penguin was saying, "I'm pooped. I think I'll take a break right here."

I can't wait to become a Docent at the aquarium! As a kid I wanted to be a marine biologist but things went another way. Looking forward to learning and working with the team!
