The 19 penguins housed at the Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans have all arrived safely at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, where they join their penguin bretheren who have been on loan from New Orleans for some time now. The Louisiana penguins are in quarantine in Monterey as a precaution against spreading anything they may have picked up, but it looks like they might join the Splash Zone exhibit as guests once they're given a clean bill of health. If that happens, they'll be on the Monterey Bay penguin cam.
Here's more news on the penguins from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Two sea otters from the Aquarium of the Americas are also finding temporary quarters in Monterey. Unfortunately, the hurricane claimed most of the aquatic specimens, a racoon, and two river otters.
Thanks to Emp. Peng. for pointing me to the story.
