Our penguin colony is hard at work gathering pebbles and building nests to impress their mates! The Aquarium team set up the exhibit with rocks and platforms. With the penguins on a northern lighting cycle, breeding season typically begins in March. Penguins are monogamous and often mate for life. If a female accepts a male’s pebble, they’ll build a nest together to raise their young, with the rocks serving as protection for their eggs. Mates will return to the same spot each year. 🐧 | Pittsbur
