This just in from the Florida Aquarium:

We love our African Black-footed Penguins at The Florida Aquarium, and want to celebrate them in a fun-filled penguin themed weekend. We also want to educate the community on the importance of these endangered animals.

There will be penguin-themed activities throughout the Aquarium from 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. on November 23-25. There will also be additional opportunities to meet and interact with our penguins, and even tuxedo T-shirt wearing SCUBA divers.

No additional cost to participate in these activities and a portion of the weekend’s proceeds will benefit The Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB). A non-profit organization who is dedicated to the conservation of these amazing animals.
