Moo Deng the baby pygmy hippo had her day in the viral TikTok sun and all the memes that came with her.
Now? There’s a new viral sensation out there in the animal world, and it’s a big, fluffy penguin named Pesto in Australia, specifically at Melbourne’s Sea Life Aquarium.
Pesto is 50 pounds and — per the BBC — “he is the biggest chick the aquarium has ever seen.” And when you see photos and videos of Pesto, you’ll get it. But don’t worry, he’ll lose weight at some point as he gets to be a bigger penguin.
For now, you get lots of this:
