Our adorable king penguin chick is developing splendidly.

And it’s no wonder with such caring parents! Mum and dad share the workload equally – while one eats, the other takes care of the chick. This includes feeding it with regurgitated, partly digested fish.

The young bird is currently still sporting its fluffy dark brown down. King penguins develop their characteristic plumage at ten to 13 months of age.

Have you paid a visit to the Penguin House to see the adorable youngster?
