“Howard” and “Pomona” have been in the Love Shack since 10 February 2010. They are in this location to encourage them to bond. They have been recommended by our African Penguin Species Survival Plan in order to continue breeding pure African penguins within a diverse gene pool. And, they are getting groovy quickly. They are touching each other with their beaks, following each other around, and resting together in their nest or by their pool. This looks to be like our first success in bonding our next generation together. We will watch their progress closely.  Hopefully they will prove to be good parents and produce some chicks.-Pamela Schaller
