National Aviary Welcomes Six New Penguins

There are some new penguins in town.

The National Aviary welcomed six African penguins to its new Penguin Point exhibit on Thursday.

The new penguins were found on the West Coast of Africa and now need a name.

Friday night, the Aviary will auction off the rights to name the new guys.

The five older penguins are named Stanley, Simon, Sidney, Elvis and Patrick.

The new Penguin Point exhibit will allow visitors to have an up-close, 360-degree view of penguins swimming, playing, nesting and scaling rocks in an open-air space.

It officially opens on Saturday.
