Mating Time for Penguins


The Rockhopper and Gentoo penguins shown above are entering their mating season at the Shedd Aquarium. The penguins will soon start gathering golf-ball size rocks, which are put in their habitat by Shedd staff, to make nest to lay their eggs. There are about 50 penquins currently at the Shedd. Visitors can watch the penguins build their nest until late June.
