SeaWorld is caring for over a dozen penguin chicks, and soon fans will be able to name one.
The aquatic theme park says 15 chicks have hatched since Nov. 30 at Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin.
The 15 chicks are from each of the four species that reside at the exhibit, including king penguins, Adelie, Gentoo and rockhopper chicks.
The penguins will stay in the nursey until they lose their baby down and grow their waterproof feathers.
Starting Wednesday, SeaWorld fans will get to cast a vote for their favorite name choice for a Gentoo chick. Fans can visit SeaWorld's Facebook page starting Wednesday for more info.
