Last December, staff at Adventure Aquarium in Camden, New Jersey, celebrated the arrival of two newly hatched African penguin chicks (Spheniscus demersus).
Less than a month after welcoming Duffy and Oscar to the flock, Adventure Aquarium has announced another newcomer.
In a statement, the facility’s African penguin primary biologist, Maddie Olszewski-Pohle said she and her coworkers are “very excited” for the latest addition.
For now, the staff at Adventure Aquarium will care for the new chick along with Duffy and Oscar behind-the-scenes..
Until then, Adventure Aquarium visitors are encouraged to make their voices heard.
