Adventure Aquarium names baby penguin after Saquon Barkley
A baby penguin born on Super Bowl Sunday at the Adventure Aquarium has a very fitting name.

The little baby penguin was given the name Saquon as a nod to our Eagles running back, who’s birthday is also on February 9.

Little Saquon was hatched to parents Sheila and Spud, marking the pair’s fifth baby hatched at Adventure Aquarium.

“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome a new, healthy chick to our little blue penguin colony!” said Adventure Aquarium Director of Aquarium Operations, Marc Kind.

“The timing of Saquon’s hatch on Super Bowl Sunday, coupled with the Eagles’ big win, made naming this little penguin after Saquon Barkley a no-brainer!”

Little Saquon will remain behind the scenes as he learns to eat fish, swim, and adjust to life at the Aquarium. Once he is two months old, he will join the colony on exhibit and become visible to guests.
