Edinburgh Zoo welcomes endangered penguin chick as first hatch of the year

An endangered penguin chick has been born at Edinburgh Zoo.

The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) celebrated the occasion by sharing a photo of the baby animal, and it has been called "so cute". The new chick is a Northern rockhopper penguin, which are unfortunately endangered as a result of climate change. The as-yet unnamed baby is the very first chick of penguin breeding season, and was born to parents Pinny and Bruce.

In 2022, the zoo welcomed two Northern rockhopper chicks, Sandy and Frankie, who "have settled into the colony well".
