US EditionZoo’s first penguin chicks of year born and weighed
- Edinburgh Zoo has welcomed its earliest hatchlings of rockhopper penguins this year, with staff monitoring their growth by weighing them on custom-made scales.
- Both penguin parents took shifts incubating their eggs before hatching, with one guarding while the other collected food.
- After hatching, one parent broods the chick to keep it warm while the other provides regurgitated food during a brooding period lasting about three weeks.
- Rockhopper penguins, an endangered species known for their bright red eyes, distinct crests, and characteristic hopping gait, mainly inhabit islands such as Tristan da Cunha and Gough located in the South Atlantic region.
- Zoo staff monitor the hatchlings daily with weight checks and health assessments, while threats like climate change, overfishing, and pollution continue to endanger their wild habitats.
