🐣 Welcome our perfect puffling pair, Sprout and Nori! 🐣
With over 6,000 votes cast over three days of fierce and fluffy competition, Sprout soared to the top of the puffling playoff naming bracket. 🌱 Thanks to our voters, our Animal Care team is already using the winning name to raise Sprout on exhibit.
Come meet our tufted puffin colony at our diving birds display in the Open Sea wing. You may be lucky enough to spot Sprout and Nori as they begin to venture out of their burrows. 🐤
Our mission to inspire conservation of the ocean helps us protect irreplaceable species like tufted puffins for future generations. That’s why we hatch adorable chicks like Nori and Sprout at Monterey Bay Aquarium as part of a Species Survival Plan. There’s wonder in all ocean life, and caring for it helps us all. 💙
