One penguin, one flamingo and two otters. This is the furry and feathered crew that visited the WINK studio Wednesday.
Their handlers, representing Sea World in Orlando and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, were here to promote their holiday programs.
The animal ambassadors are hand-raised from birth, so they travel well and are quite comfortable around people, even in the wild setting of a TV station.
"They're used to all this, all the people, all the lights," says Melanie Oreskovich of SW/BG.
She says visitors to the parks will be able to interact with animals like these, which are used to educate the public. She adds that both parks have special programs for the holiday season, including special admission plans.
