ROBIN RIGGS, AQUARIUM OF THE PACIFIC
LONG BEACH – A penguin chick at the
Aquarium of the Pacific was christened Paddles this week after members
of the community weighed in with their suggestions, aquarium officials
announced.
The 5-month-old female chick is the offspring of penguins Noodles and Patsy and is one of four chicks at the aquarium.Two
male and two female chicks were born at the Aquarium of the Pacific
this summer and donors who participated in the aquarium’s Adopt an
Animal program were invited to suggest a name for Paddles, said Alyssa
Pacaut, Aquarium of the Pacific membership manager.
It is the first time
the aquarium has opened up naming an animal to the sponsorship program.Two
people who suggested the name Paddles will get to meet the penguin in
person during a feeding and training session, Pacaut said.
