The Oregon Zoo Welcomes Baby Penguin

(Portland, OR) -- The Oregon Zoo has a new baby small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. The tiny, fluffy Humboldt penguin chick hatched last week and managers in the penguin habitat say the chick's parents are doing a great job caring for their new arrival. It'll grow fast. By summer, it'll be as tall as its parents. The chick is the 194th Humboldt chick to hatch in Portland since breeding of the threatened species began at the zoo in the 1980s. Humboldt penguins are native to the South American coastline off Peru and Chile.
