Meet our two freckled porcupinefish, Pufnstuf and Sugar Puff, when the Tropical Reef Aquarium reopens on June 14! 🐡 Porcupinefish are known for inflating their bodies with water when threatened by larger fish. This inflation behavior makes the many long spines lying flat against the fish’s skin stand out to form protective armor. Porcupinefish are most active at night, swimming slowly amongst coral reefs, looking for small, shelled animals to crunch. Their small fins help them change direction quickly as they maneuver through the crevices of the reef. #WorldReefAwarenessDay 🪸
So fetch! Today is Regina’s first birthday! 🎉 She’s not like a regular penguin; she’s a cool penguin. 🐧 Named after Regina George from the movie Mean Girls, here’s a throwback of Regina adventuring behind the scenes as a fluffy chick. And yes, on Wednesdays, she wears pink (and every day) with her fetch ID bracelet. 💖 Regina is really a huge deal, and can’t help it that she’s popular. Happy first birthday, Regina! 🎂
