SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- It's a boy! The Rosamond Gifford Zoo has confirmed the sex of their newest little penguin and they've given him a name: Pedro.

The names of the chicks are always inspired by their native habitat.

Pedro is the 13th chick to hatch at the zoo since the Humboldt Penguin exhibit opened four years ago.
