The Tennessee Aquarium’s first penguin chick, a macaroni, now has a name to match her feisty disposition: Pepper.
Aquarium “election officials” reviewed 1,000 submissions from a naming contest and picked the name, which four different people suggested.
For $15, visitors to the aquarium can meet Pepper and the other penguins up-close and personal. Starting Jan. 16, aquarium workers will take two groups of six visitors per day for a behind-the-scenes look at Penguins’ Rock from a private observation deck.
