From Walt Disney World’s 30 tons of food grown at Epcot each month, to Sea Worlds OSHA Whale Trainer accident investigation, to Six Flags new baby dolphins in Vallejo, and the beautiful story of what happened to Mom, and one of her baby boy dolphins, when he was born.
Male Penguins, have got it rough! When you visit the newly updated Penguin exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, visit the Penguins for more than ten minutes. Witness the relentless testing of the females during the creation of her nest, insisting that he help her build the nest on her complicated terms. The male penguin, tirelessly, works each long day, hauling twigs and eggs up the mountain, drops them in front of her, and awaits her approval. She often declines and forces him to leave, once again, down the mountain, to then return to the nest, with something
more to her liking. They are monogamous, and the female is testing her mates endurance, as husband, and father, as he spends all day, for many weeks, climbing a small mountain, in the exhibit, pushing wooden eggs and twigs, up to the Mother’s nest, only to have her reject his efforts repeatedly. Back down the hill he goes, to start the process all over again. Male Penguins repeat this pattern countless times a day, and have the most exhausting schedule I’ve ever witnessed of any animals in captivity. Watch them right now LIVE on the PenguinCAM
The Steinhart Aquarium in San Francisco is also dazzling. Nearly 10 years and $500 million dollars in the making, it’s finally here. The new Academy is a masterpiece in sustainable architecture, blends seamlessly into the park’s natural setting, and is filled with hundreds of innovative exhibits and thousands of extraordinary plants and animals.
A Smart Green Trip down memory lane leads you to memories on the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz.
