Happy Penguin Feet at the Tennessee Aquarium

Gentoo and macaroni penguins are among the most popular animals living within the Tennessee Aquarium's two buildings. These playful characters are active throughout the day diving into, and rocketing out of, the water. Many visitors are amused by the way they waddle back and forth during their busy days. While they don't sing and tap dance like the animated emperor penguins featured in the new film, "Happy Feet Two," the Aquarium's penguins have pretty amazing feet.Senior aviculturist Amy Graves explains the different appearance of gentoo and macaroni feet, and how these amazing birds use their feet. You might be surprised to learn where the power for swimming comes from. Learn more about the Tennessee Aquarium at: http://www.tnaqua.org/Home.aspx

Located on the banks of the Tennessee River in downtown Chattanooga, the Tennessee Aquarium is a non-profit organization.
