New Gentoo Penguin Chicks Hatched

Newport Aquarium announced today the recent hatching of three Gentoo penguin chicks. Hatched between Dec. 31 and Jan. 5, the chicks weighed between 80-100 grams at birth. A first for the Aquarium, two of the chicks were hatched from the same parents. As days pass, the chicks will begin to slowly venture away from their nests and be visible in the Kroger Kingdom of Penguins exhibit, though not far from their parents. For now, the young chicks mostly stay nestled under their penguin parents. There are only 15 accredited institutions that hold Gentoo penguins in North America.
