DALLAS - The Dallas Zoo’s two newest penguin chicks are learning to walk for the very first time.
The zoo posted this video of the one-month-old siblings on its Facebook page Tuesday.
They are the second and third African penguin chicks hatched at the zoo.
Zoo officials said, “These fuzzy babes are getting the hang of walking
and the goofiness is just too glorious. The siblings are growing
super-fast and will eventually lose their down feathers for their first
swim.”
The Penguin Camera is located on Torgersen Island (64°46’S, 64°04’W), off the coast of Anvers Island and less than a mile from Palmer Station. Torgersen Island is home to a colony of Adélie penguins numbering approximately 2,500. This camera is seasonal and operates primarily from October to February, the Adélie breeding season. The camera is solar-powered and may sometimes experience brief outages due to inclement weather. School classrooms and other educational demonstrations will often take control of the camera, moving it to gain better views of the colony.
