We’re flipping out with excitement – the sex of our newest Humboldt penguin chick has been confirmed – it’s a male!
While the little one is still safe in his burrow with mom ‘Inca’ and dad ‘Enrique’ close by, we’re waiting for the chick to start to venture onto the beach in Penguin Plunge, likely later this summer.
