Hot Humboldts in Happyville

Good work!  Your hard work of reading the thermometers and using your addition and subtraction skills paid off.  When the temperature reached 82˚ F , Chester moved the penguins into a different exhibit with Barbara, the West Indian manatee.  Her tank is kept at a lovely 72˚ F and  she only eats plants, so the penguins wont be in any danger. 

Hopefully the air chillers will be fixed soon, but thanks to you, the penguins will be happy until then.
