Get a behind the scenes look at the African penguin colony at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We will learn about some of the drama that happens between pairs -- romance, break ups, and even learn a little about their chick rearing. This is a unique opportunity to learn about the individual birds in a way that isn't possible by visiting them at the aquarium.
