By: John ChapoLincoln, NE - Penguinpalooza! kicks off the 2011 season and features the Zoo's Humboldt penguin habitat. Highlighting the event is the introduction of 4 new female penguins to the habitat, joining the 5 male birds that arrived at the Zoo last fall. The female penguins will be released in to their habitat at 10:30am. As a great way to welcome the new penguins special zookeeper demonstrations will be held featuring the "Eat that Fish" interactive game/penguin feeding demonstration. “Eat that Fish” will be held daily at 11am and 3pm throughout the season. Special prizes will be given to game winners during Penguinpalooza!
Many other fun activities are planned throughout the day to celebrate the Zoo’s opening:
· A Discovery Station educational exhibit will be on display throughout the day to teach visitors about the warm weather Humboldt penguin.
· A "waddle like a penguin” contest will take place at 2pm. The contest entrant who most looks and waddles like a penguin wins tickets for a free train ride.
· The Zoo’s mascot Pacific the Penguin will be out and about for photo opportunities. Pacific will be available for pictures at 11:30am and 2pm.
· Special penguin items will be available for sale at the Zoonique Boutique.
· A live outside broadcast by KFRX 106.3fm is set for 10am-12pm.
· Pepsi Max will be given away throughout the day (while supplies last).
