The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums

Posted in ,

Yesterday, April Fool's Day ;), marked the first birth for Woodland Park Zoo's Humboldt Penguin parents Dora and P.J.. Humboldt penguin chicks hatch with grayish brown, downy feathers, which
molt into completely gray feathers when they fledge. It will be early
summer before any of the chicks emerge from the nesting burrows and
venture outdoors into the public exhibit for visitors to enjoy.
