# Penguin footprint artwork

## Penguins at Shedd Aquarium in Chicago are getting their signature waddle
|
|
immortalised on canvases as part of an initiative to raise money for the
|
|
centre.

The one-of-a-kind paintings showcase the pitter-patter of the Magellanic and
|
|
Rockhopper penguins, with all proceeds from the paintings going to the
|
|
aquarium's education and conservation programmes.
|
|
|
|
The Aquarium claims the venture into the art world is good for the penguins
|
|
themselves, helping to strengthen their cognitive abilities.
|
|
|
|
"Painting is one of the various enrichment activities that perform a vital
|
|
role in providing varied mental stimulation for the animals," said Ken
|
|
Ramirez, Shedd's executive vice president of animal collections and training.
|
|
|
|
"The health and wellness of our animals is the top priority at Shedd, and
|
|
enrichment activities are a consistent part of Shedd's commitment to provide
|
|
world-class animal care."
|
|
|
|
From December 22, 30 penguin-made pieces will available for purchase at the
|
|
aquarium's gift shop.
|
|
|
|
Each 16 x 20 painting is set in a 2-inch black frame and includes a biography
|
|
of the penguin artist, including the name and information about the penguin
|
|
that created the painting.
