Shameless Plug for the Tennessee Aquarium. :-)

There are several Gentoo penguins tending eggs right now, so there’s a lot for which to stay informed. 
Like them on Facebook HERE and follow their tweets on Twitter HERE

And if you get the chance to go there, by all means do!

Penguin keepers are pleased to announce that the Tennessee Aquarium has two pudgy baby macaroni penguins. The first was born on May 24th, the second about one week later on June 1st. Hercules and Shamrock are raising their chick near the center of the exhibit. Paulie and Chaos, the parents of Pepper, were involved in a territorial squabble early in the breeding season. As a result, the second chick is being raised by the parents in a backup area.
