At the Aquarium of the Pacific in California, the penguins have something in common with bird keeper Sara Mandel's cats. Both animals like games on a tablet computer. I had actually purchased this game in the app store for my cats, said Mandel. Then, she wanted to see if the aquarium’s penguins would like the game as much as her cats did. Mandel asked her supervisor if she could show the game to the birds. He laughed at me, she said. But the penguins did show an interest in the tablet computer with the cat game, Mandel said. I showed him, and he was pretty shocked. Mandel said the penguins like playing with the electronic device as much as people do.
