Do you get to hug the penguins? They allude to "making friends" with them but I've been burned by vague descriptions of animal friend encounters in the past.

They smell really bad.

Penguins do poop quite a bit... I am going to guess that you don't get to pet them because the penguin encounters are something additional and like $50 each. But you do get to hang out with them and watch a movie. :)

The penguin is the mascot of Pittsburgh, an animal that is trapped in a place it wishes it could leave but can't

The penguins keep laying down to nap and then getting up and craning their necks around to see what all the commotion is about. :)

Happy is the juvenile penguin, he's the only penguin you can really identify on the webcam because he hasn't had his first molt yet, so he's all black on his neck instead of having a black stripe. :)

He's currently laying down in the upper right corner

Was it The Penguin who stole the penguin?

They went in and got another one too. It seemed to really anger one of the other penguins. They probably stole his mate, poor guy.

Penguins are just smelly water birds, inferior to feathered birds such as the cockatoo or rabbit
