Zoo’s first penguin chicks of year born and weighed

  • The earliest rockhopper penguin hatchlings of 2025 have arrived at Edinburgh Zoo and have been photographed during their routine weighing.
  • Both penguin parents incubated their eggs in shifts before hatching, with one guarding and the other gathering food.
  • After hatching, one parent broods the chicks for about three weeks while the other feeds them regurgitated food, continuing until fledging at about 70 days.
  • Rockhopper penguins are endangered due to climate change, overfishing, and pollution, and are known for their red eyes, prominent crests, and unique hopping walk.
  • Zoo staff perform daily health checks and weigh the chicks regularly while monitoring them closely, with the number of chicks yet to be announced.
