If you haven’t hopped over to Mote Marine yet to see the penguins on parade, now is your chance. They were scheduled to leave at the end of February, but Sly, South, Rudy, Coaster, Oswald and Ninja are extending their vacation until April 15. The endangered black-footed penguins will return to their home at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, in Vallejo, Calif.
