@mcc ...and not in a zoo 😉 been eyeball to eyeball with emperors, they are quite stunning 😍
@mcc at Sumida Aquarium in Tokyo! they had a lot of attitude and it was very fun.
@mcc Outside of zoos, here's me with some jackass penguins I saw in 2005.
@mcc Not only have I SEEN one in real life, I’ve also eaten one.
@mcc Are zoos real life?
@mcc at the zoo. That’s sorta real life. I guess it’s also sorta not.
@ShiitakeToast it's real… zoos are real
@mcc @ShiitakeToast it’s not their natural habitat though.
@mcc About ten years ago my wife and I had a special pass at seaworld in Florida and we got a behind the scenes tour of the penguin house. Up close visit with them and everything. It was great except it had been raining all day and we were both soaking wet and it was very very cold in their enclosure during the tour. We both came away with pneumonia. Totally bittersweet because they were awesome.
