Chick, chick, hooray – we have a new Humboldt penguin in our waddle!
On June 26, 2024, we welcomed a Humboldt penguin chick to 12-year-old ‘Penelope’ (mom) and five-year-old ‘Chico’ (dad). The penguin parents have been very attentive to their new little one.
Last week, the chick received its first veterinary exam. The first veterinary exam is a big one for penguin chicks and includes assessments of body condition, weight, eye and oral health, vaccinations, and a blood draw to allow our Animal Health team to confirm the chick’s sex.
While the chick is now yet viewable, visitors may hear it calling out to its penguin parents from within its burrow!
