Thanks to Jives, frequent commenter who is embedded in the New England Aquarium, for relaying my love note to the rockhopper penguins there. I just received a message back from them this morning.
Long-time DSN readers may know, I have an affinity for penguins having volunteered at the Monterey Bay Aquarium long ago taking care of 15 blackfoots!
