Shoutout to our talented summer #interns, Bradley Fellstrom and Zachary Tucker, for their hard work and contributions to our mission. They made an impact quickly with their eagerness to learn, ask questions, and innovate. Great job!
Tap...tap...tap...🐧

Penguin chick alert! Two fuzzy new Magellanic penguin chicks have joined the colony this nesting season, contributing to a Species Survival Plan for these near-threatened birds! 🐧 🎉
I don't want to brag too much, but 57% of @CS_JMU's featured students (https://t.co/4Xnmuqs2GM) and 50% of the featured alumni (https://t.co/ZGN6JI3ZA5) were @JMUnixUsers members, and 33% of all of them were club officers.
On Dec. 11, a female southern rockhopper chick hatched at Penguin & Puffin Coast — the first at our Zoo in 11 years!
We need your help choosing a name! Our bird keepers selected 4 potential names for the chick: Pebbles, Opal, Luna and Lumi.

#DidYouKnow: The pattern of spots on the chest and belly of each African #penguin is completely unique. It helps them to identify each other, and it's how our penguin keepers learn to tell them apart. 🐧
