Aquarium Penguin Chicks Make Public Debut

[NaturalHigh]

Two of the young'uns join their elders in the June Keyes Penguin Habitat.

The people who study the internet for a living look at why we use it, when we use it, where we use it, and how. And those thinkers regularly reach the very same conclusion, a modern theory of monumental proportions: Animal webcams are the fuel and live blood of the World Wide Web.

We josh, but only a tad. Look to the live feeds that regularly beam out from zoos and aquariums nowadays. Bevies of fans keep avid watch and share sightings on social media. These fans include the bird buffs who've been following the Magellanic Penguin chicks at our own Aquarium of the Pacific.

Webcam watchers have been patiently waiting for a first waddle, a first peep, a first show of curiosity. Squee, squee, and squee.

But an auspicious moment has arrived: Two of the four chicks will join the grown-up penguins inside the Long Beach aquarium's June Keyes Penguin Habitat. The public debut date? It's Wednesday, Aug. 27 at 9 a.m.
