Celebrating one month of king chick cuteness! Our newest female king penguin enjoyed a special ice and fish cake for her “hatch-iversary” last week. This little chick has already reached some exciting milestones, and she recently started waddling on her own. 😍 At this age, king chicks begin to venture out on their own for short periods of time. These bursts of exploration are important for building leg strength. Look at her go! | Saint Louis Zoo

Chick Update: The king penguin chick that hatched on December 1 now weighs 17.4 pounds. An average adult king penguin weighs 33 to 40 pounds. Mom (B.B. King) and dad (Nathan) are continuing to be attentive parents. The chick will have its first physical at about 3 months old, at which time we will learn whether the bird is male or female.
