Surprise! We have a new African penguin chick! 🐧 🐣
This newly-hatched (and very fluffy!) chick is the first chick to join our African penguin colony since 2019. The penguin chick was born to parents Malgas II and Demersus III on March 23, and is growing at a remarkable speed. It now weighs 16X its hatch weight! Although the chick has made significant progress since hatching, it still has many milestones ahead.
In the coming weeks, this chick will begin hand-feeding, will receive a full physical exam + blood test to determine its sex, and a name will be given to our newest penguin resident! Stay tuned for more info about our penguin chick on #WorldPenguinDay!
Welcome to the world, baby penguin! 🖤
