Curraghs celebrates 8-week-old Humboldt Penguin

The Wildlife Park is celebrating as their Humboldt penguin chick is now eight weeks old.

The park took to social media to share the milestone, as the chick should now start coming out of the nest box for the first time.

In the last five years Curraghs Wildlife Park has hatched 27 penguins, with 23 being moved to different zoos.

This year the park says it has deliberately reduced breeding to keep genetic diversity within the species.

A feather sample has now been sent off so keepers can find out if the chick is a boy or a girl.
