Woodland Park Zoo officials would like to thank a small boy who rescued a penguin egg last week.
The endangered Humboldt penguin hatched from its shell earlier this
week at the Woodland Park Zoo and is in healthy condition despite its
near humpty dumpty moment.
Last Tuesday, while visiting the zoo, an unknown boy watched the
first egg hatch at the zoo’s penguin exhibit but noticed that one of the
eggs was not where it should be.
The egg was on a cliff.
He quickly alerted a zoo keeper, and it was rushed to foster parents.
But if he hadn’t stepped in, the rare penguin may have died.

Kudos to this young penguin hero! I hope the zoo is able to locate him and thank him for helping to save such a precious chick. With such great observational skills, perhaps he'll become a penguin caretaker or researcher one day.
