penguins

Three black-footed penguins named Daisy, Blueberry and Tinker wobbled outside their enclosure Sunday and found an unusually robust crowd of several dozen people waiting. It was the last day of the Miami Seaquarium, a South Florida landmark for 70 years, and residents came for a final glimpse of the beloved animals that reminded them of childhood

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is listing the penguins native to Antarctica as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act.

The flightless bird with an outsize persona personally greeted thousands of guests in his lifetime and was said to prefer the company of humans over his fellow penguins.
