Fuzzy Baby Penguin Chick!

That's the title of the first video released by the Woodland Park Zoo of their newborn Humboldt penguin, so why edit it?  The super-cute clip above is actually of the older of the two babies at the zoo, as this chick's sibling hatched just as expected on Easter

Both are being taken care of by first-time parents Dora and PJ, but are getting regular checkups by the zoo's staff.  That healthy little guy is just peeping away.  But he (or she--you can't tell with penguins at first) won't be little for much longer; the baby doubled its weight in only 6 days!  The older chick is now 5 ounces, while the brand-new baby is still half that size.

The penguin chicks won't be introduced to the public until sometime this summer, so for now we'll just have to settle for the videos and photos posted from time to time on the zoo's blog and YouTube channel.
