    They're cheering the fact that shares of SeaWorld Entertainment Inc, rose as much as 22 percent on their debut day, valuing the theme park company at around $3.05 billion.

    But gentlemen, really: PENGUINS.

    There was also apparently a lemur and an otter in attendance, but everyone was so struck by these penguins that they forgot to take pictures of them.
