ADORABLE PENGUINS HATCH AT UK ZOO

HOPPING onto the scales, these adorable baby Humboldt penguins are ready for their first weigh-in. The eight chicks, born at Chester Zoo, snuggle up as they wait for their turn to be weighed. Looking right at home, the first chick to hatch weighs in at just 68g and has been named Panay, after an island in the Philippines. All of the new penguin chicks have been named after Southeast Asian islands to coincide with the zoo’s soon-to-be opened Islands exhibit.
