The Story Begins With Beto and Mary
As reported by Mexican outlet El Universal, the story begins with Beto and Mary, Alex’s parents. In September, which is when the penguin nesting season begins, the aquarium staff began placing river rocks in strategic places for the penguins to find. Male penguins pick up one of the rocks and offer them to the females. It’s like a gift for them, and if the female accepts, the pair become a couple, make a nest, and lay an egg, Víctor Sánchez, a director at the Inbursa Aquarium, told the outlet.
