Penguins enticed to
mate at aquarium
“The New
England Aquarium wants its endangered African penguins to get a little steamy.
Aquarium experts are playing matchmaker behind the scenes to encourage 8 pairs
of African penguins to breed more chicks. Biologists say that will help a
population that’s expected to be extinct in the wild by 2025 to continue to
thrive in captivity. The Boston
facility is giving its penguins ‘honeymoon suites’- cosy plastic igloo-style
homes…designed to get them in the mood. Over the past 15 years, the aquarium
has sent 28 birds to 7 different zoos & aquariums around North
America. World Penguin Day is April 25.”
