Penguins Moved to Higher Ground at Florida Aquarium Ahead of Hurricane Milton
As Hurricane Milton approaches Florida’s coast, The Florida Aquarium is taking proactive measures to safeguard its animals, including relocating its beloved African penguins to safety.
This morning, the Aquarium crews carefully helped nine penguins move from their habitat on the first floor to higher, safer ground. This precautionary step is essential to protect the animals from the possibility of severe flooding at the Aquarium, with upwards of 10’ of storm surge currently predicted in Downtown Tampa.
