To Catch a Penguin

Penguin keepers at the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga had their hands full recently. Giving physicals to gentoo and macaroni penguins is important for these fascinating birds, but rounding up these fast swimming birds is a challenge. Check out this funny video of an elusive gentoo. Even though penguins are saltwater species, the Aquarium's birds are kept in a freshwater habitat. So while the birds are being examined, the exhibit gets a thorough cleaning.
