A quartet of baby penguins waddled through a gauntlet of gawkers and photographers to their new home at the San Francisco Zoo Saturday.
The four young birds (Magellanic penguins) progressed with more speed and purpose than some of their elders did in previous “March of the Penguins” events, hardly stopping on their walk around the zoo’s penguin exhibit before plunging into the water and swimming away.

Zoo visitors, mostly families with children, eagerly awaited the young penguins’ march. (Tom Prete/Ocean Beach Bulletin)
