Last Update: 12/11 10:11 am
NEWPORT, Ky. -- After nearly a month of cancer treatments, a penguin living at the Newport Aquarium will get his final radiation treatment Saturday.

Tica is the first penguin in the U.S. to undergo aggressive cancer treatments.

The 16-year-old penguin has skin cancer on his tail.

Tica has been receiving treatments since Nov. 17.

Veterinarians say Tica appears to be getting better.
