Humboldt Penguin Chick Veterinary Check

This YouTube video was produced by the Calgary Zoo.

Have you heard a peep in Penguin Plunge? We have a new Humboldt chick!

In May, Humboldt parents ‘Inca’ and ‘Enrique’ welcomed a tiny chick who is steadily growing bigger and bigger. Earlier this week, the chick, who has not yet been sexed, had its first veterinary exam and received its first dose of the West Nile virus vaccine. 💉Thanks to the gentle hands of our dedicated Animal Care, Health & Welfare team, the chick stayed calm throughout the process and was soon returned to dad in the burrow.

Stay tuned for more updates!
