We celebrated our 40th Anniversary with friends at the Detroit Zoo
during which
Bev, Marcy, Belen and I entered the PENGUINARIUM!
We met some new friend's - Macaroni's and Rock Hopper's.
They have beautiful white chests and pink feet!
The penguins enjoy being hand fed and are not afraid of us!

Izzo was being picky about his fish.
There are about 60 penguins at the Detroit Zoo with just a couple of new ones this year.
Some are starting to molt and their new down feathers are very white and soft.

They have a honk-like sound that was amazingly quite loud.
They eat sardines, herring and krill and we smelled like that

Did mom wear the black and white coat so she would blend in with the penguins? Did she have to chew up the fish and mouth feed the babies? Details!!!
