This is Stanley, an African Penguin from the National Aviary in Pittsburgh, PA.
This is from the daily 11:30 Penguin talk at the Aviary. The handlers usually give the talk but the Penguins sometimes chime in. These little guys are just too cute to describe. They are native to warm coastal areas in Angola, Mozambique, Namibia, and South Africa and eat Fish, Crustaceans and Squid.
The Aviary has five African Penguins including Stanley, Elvis, Patrick, Simon and Sidney. They are not on exhibit except for talks, presentations and special programs. A new habitat is being built for them as a permanent display. I’ve seen drawings of the habitat and it will be very cool and feature a tunnel that kids can crawl through where they can view the penguins underwater. I
