First Chick Fostered by Pair of Same-Sex Penguins Hatches at the Zoo!
On January 1, the first chick to hatch from an egg cared for by a pair of male penguins hatched at the zoo! The foster parents, Elmer and Lima, are two adult male Humboldt penguins who formed a pair bond for the current breeding season. The pair did a great job of taking turns incubating the egg until it hatched and have been brooding (warming) and feeding the chick since.
