Rockhopper Penguin (Eudyptes chrysocome) at NEAq<\/em><\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The New England Aquarium<\/a> (NEAq) in Boston offers a delightful display of penguins on its main level surrounding the large ocean tank.\u00c2\u00a0 Rockhopper penguins pictured above seem a tad theatrical with their gaudy golden tuffs and eye brows.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

African Penguin (Spheniscus demersus) at NEAq<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

African penguins bellow raucous trumpet calls that drown out the buzz of visitors as they crowd around the exhibit.<\/p>\n

Little Blue Penguin (Eudyptula minor) at NEAq<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Turtle Journal’s favorite species is the little blue penguin.\u00c2\u00a0 They appear like tiny juveniles (but are full grown adults) and they lack the outlandish traits of the others.\u00c2\u00a0 Still, they’re simply adorable to our eyes.<\/p>\n

Oops!\u00c2\u00a0 Little Blue Penguin Forgot to Duck, So to Speak<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, there’s one downside to treats.\u00c2\u00a0 To coin a phrase, what goes in, must come out.\u00c2\u00a0 In the case of our favorite little blue penguin, it looks as though he forgot to duck!<\/p>\n
