Have you ever wondered who the most dramatic penguin is at the Akron Zoo? In Episode 2 of our penguin soap opera, The Young and the Flightless, that honor has been been given to Ernie, our penguin juvenile who hatched in March 2021. Ernie has a lot of thoughts, and he is not shy to share them!

The Young and the Flightless is a soap opera-style web series about the tales of the Akron Zoo penguin colony. In this series, penguin keeper, Vicky, will share dramatic true stories from the penguins over the years!
