Thanks Lynn, their health and well being are my first concern. The penguin’s name is Dunker, there are some blogs about him in the Penguin Blog Archives.

Thanks Pam. Hope she gets better soon. I’ve been wondering what the name of the penguin which has the patch of feathers missing on his/her back. He is a very curoius penguin and always want to see what’s behind the rocks. Also, thanks for providing the utube video. The amount of planning and thought that went into building this habitat to be as natural as possible is most impressive.

Lynn, The biologist that covers for me on my weekends (Brooke), has an injury to her hand. She wants to make sure to keep her wound clean and dry.

I’ve noticed the past couple of days you have been wearing gloves when feeding the penguins. Is this a new procedure and why?

I am constantly pleasantly amazed at the degree of thought used in all of CalAcademy’s exhibits. Thought was used to make the exhibits pleasurable and educational for people. But even more so, it seems, for the healthful care of the creatures. CalAcademy sets a shining example for other institutions in the world that have live creatures on exhibit! (Maybe they could give the SF Zoo some pointers…)
