I have seen them have eggs, raise chicks, grow into adults, learn new exhibits, chase each other, swim and interact with our visitors and staff. Their life history and antics keep me learning more about them every day!-Pamela Schaller

Study as much math and science as possible and find a local opportunity to work/volunteer with exotic animals. There is usually either a zoo/aquarium/rehabilitation center within your location. Contact the local facilities about their volunteer programs or internships.

It is very safe for the penguins and for the staff. It is a common product used by vets.

The last time we visited the penguins, the habitat was being cleaned by you (I think) and one of your feathered helpers. You were using some very orange gloppy stuff. I was wondering what it was. It must be the safest cleaning solution around :-) If it’s good enough for your penguins it will be good enough for my animals. Thanks

Joanne
