As Hurricane Milton approaches Florida’s coast, The Florida Aquarium has taken swift action to ensure the safety of its animals, including the relocation of its beloved African penguins.

This critical step is necessary due to the potential for severe flooding, with predictions of up to 10 feet of storm surge expected in Downtown Tampa.
