Penguin chick born at wildlife park

A baby penguin has been born at Curraghs Wildlife park.

The park took to social media to confirm the news and says now the first penguin chick is hatched, they're waiting for its sibling to follow.

In the post, Curraghs say Humbolt penguins can rear up to 2 chicks at a time, the first one to hatch has an advantage as it often has a  head start and can call louder to attract the parents attention and get more regurgitated fish!
