Humboldt penguin born at Roger Williams Zoo

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - The cold temperatures will suit the newest resident of Roger Williams Park Zoo. A new Humboldt penguin has been born at the penguin exhibit.
The announcement was made on Facebook Monday, with a photo posted, announcing the male chick's name as Providence.
The chick still has the appearance of dull-colored downy fur, prior to becoming the mature black-and-white penguins most of us are familiar with.
Zookeepers are limiting Providence's exposure at this point until he goes on exhibit later in the spring.
