Spinnaker the dolphin dies

Spinnaker, the dolphin, died last Thursday. He was at least 25 years old. Now, the aquarium has two more dolphins, Hana and Helen. It would be nice if they can have a male dolphin in near future.


penguins

I've heard that penguins are coming to Aquarium in this spring. I somehow found out where they are going to be. It is the back of the Aquarium where people can peek animals for free. I wonder how penguins are displayed there. It is still under construction. (This gate is permanently closed after construction. No more free peek for public.)
