LEO Zoological Conservation Center will have a Magnificent Mammal Monday on January 21st at Maritime Aquarium, which contains a Red Kangaroo joey, Armadillo, a Fennec Fox, and curiously, an African Penguin.
Important news!
Due to their original success, African Penguins will be coming back to Maritime Aquarium for a two-month encore exhibit. They will be here from Valentine's Day to spring break! They will be on loan from LEO Zoological Conservation Center.

The exhibit will most likely be where the White Alligator exhibit was this summer, which before that was also the temporary penguin exhibit years ago. You can find it on this map.

The aquarium and IMAX theater are closed today.
The penguins arrived and are getting accustomed to their exhibit, which opens on Thursday.
The temporary penguin exhibit opened today. Hopefully I can get to the aquarium in March to check it out.
I went to the aquarium today, and had a nice little visit. Not much has changed, but...
The penguins seem to be doing well. The exhibit is a bit disappointing, but I expected that, as it is only a temporary exhibit.
I didn't see the Chain Catsharks or Spiny Dogfish in the Shark Touch Pool.
The left half of the river otter exhibit had its water drained out, and only one otter was on exhibit.

Divers for Aquatic Solutions of Campbell, CA are at Maritime for a couple of weeks, doing maintenance. Yesterday, they were working on the shark tank.
Jack Hanna will be at the aquarium tomorrow with two shows, at 4:00 and 6:00 P.M. respectively. One confirmed animal for both of the shows is a baby Fennec Fox.
A typical morning at Maritime Aquarium, before opening:

There was no exhibit for them in both my September 2012 and February 2013 visits, so I guess that their exhibit was replaced with a new species, and now they're coming back.
Sea Ravens in the Shipwreck exhibit have laid eggs recently.
Sae ravens ? Never heared of ! Fish-species ?
