'March of the Penguins' at the San Francisco Zoo


 SfZoo.org

Grab your foam flipper because it is time to root for the baby penguins during the annual 'March of the Penguins' at the San Francisco Zoo. This is a special event for members of the zoo. If you are not a member, look at what you are missing!

The annual 'March of the Penguins' will happen on Wednesday morning at 10a.m. The zoo's newest penguins have been enrolled in the zoo's fish school for the past several months. Now that they have learned to swim and fish the four penguin chicks, one male and three females are ready to join the rest of the colony. While being cheered by the crowds, the four chicks will march across the zoo grounds to join the 54 penguin colony on Penguin Island.

    I'd love to see them make this a regular event at the Zoo. Over in Scotland, the Edinburgh Zoo does this daily, and the Peabody Hotels do this multiple times per day. It's a real fun thing to watch.
