Put on your best black and white outfit! Grab a fish sandwich for lunch! Put a penguin movie in the DVD player, waddle around the house with your hands stuck out from your sides, and make loud, trumpeting sounds! Why? Because today is World Penguin Day, of course!

Last week we showed you some pictures of our newest member of the SeaWorld family, and asked if you could identify him. You all certainly know your baby animals - the vast majority of guesses were correct, identifying the chick as a penguin. But the last time I checked only two individuals, Bethany and Amanda, even got the species - king penguin!

In this week's WAVE-TV, we introduce you to a whole crop of penguin chicks born at SeaWorld San Antonio!

Pete and Penny, two of the penguins who live at SeaWorld San Antonio, recently took a trip to walk the blue carpet for the premiere of Discovery's Frozen Planet, which premieres March 18th.

A passenger snapped this great video of the penguin pair stretching their legs in the aisle mid-flight!

We’re gearing up for the 2^nd annual Run for the Fund, and all this talk about physical fitness and ability got us thinking about some of the incredible athletic adaptations animals have that help them compete in the everyday “game” of survival. They rely on these adaptations to help them find food, reproduce, move, and communicate with other animals.

SeaWorld has had a long standing presence on several national televisions shows. Julie Scardina, SeaWorld/Busch Gardens Animal Ambassador and a corporate curator of the Animal Training department, has made numerous appearances on shows such as the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and the Today Show. As we expand our presence in the world of TV, more animal ambassadors are needed to represent the company on other shows. I was honored to have been chosen to bring some amazin

April is a great month in San Antonio. Spring is in the air, the temperatures aren’t boiling yet, and the promise of a fun-filled summer lies ahead. What we are most excited about at SeaWorld San Antonio’s Penguin Encounter is the abundance of the biggest babies around – king chicks!

Birds - they make everything look easy, don’t they? Give a Scarlet Macaw an almond, and it will crack it open and devour it in mere seconds, while we are still trying to figure out in which kitchen drawer the nutcracker is hiding. A King penguin merely has to gracefully push its wings up and down and suddenly it is effortlessly thrust through the water at dizzying speeds, while we are still struggling to fit into our swimsuits. And flying? Forget about it! A rainbow lorikeet can just FALL off a perch, right itself in the air and zip around our heads with glee. And us?

With the hustle and bustle of the holidays behind us, most of us are finding time to finally kick back, relax, and maybe play with some of our Christmas presents or work on our new years resolutions. But here at the SeaWorld San Antonio Penguin Encounter, things are anything but relaxing!

Ah, fall in San Antonio. This refreshing season gives us south Texans the chance to finally give our overworked air conditioners a break. We can crack open our windows, and pull out our favorite sweatshirt from the closet. But there is a place right here in the Alamo city where it is not fall at all…It’s spring! Where is this magical place that falling leaves, Friday night football and back to school forgot?
