Even penguins go through an awkward phase sometimes… and Eclipse’s just happened to include a mullet 🤭🐧

Little blue penguin chicks hatch with soft down feathers that eventually fall out as their waterproof adult feathers grow in. During the transition, things can look a little uneven… and in Eclipse’s case, very mullet-inspired 😂

Eclipse has long since grown out of his “business in the front, party in the back” look, but we couldn’t resist sharing this throwback!

Happy World Turtle Day! 🐢💚

To celebrate, we’re sharing some silly photos and videos of our favorite turtles and tortoises around the Aquarium — from sea turtles like Stitches, Old Green, and Bob, to tortoises like Gertrude, Louise, Asther, and Pepe, plus Inglis, Clyde, Snaps, our diamondback terrapins, and our snake-necked turtle!

Fun fact: all tortoises are turtles… but not all turtles are tortoises 🤯

Whether they’re swimming, sunbathing, munching snacks, or giving serious side-eye, these reptiles remind us every day why turtle conservation matters. Which turtle (or tortoise!) is your favorite? 🐢

It may feel HOT out to us today, but for African penguins like Jambo… this is what they’re built for ☀️🐧

Those pink patches above Jambo’s eyes are actually special heat vents that help keep him cool in the sun! When African penguins start getting too warm, their bodies pump extra blood to those bare pink glands. As air passes over the skin, the blood cools down before circulating back through the rest of the body.
