"As the only zoo in the Western Hemisphere where emperor penguins can be found, we are excited to share and celebrate this rare and precious emperor penguin chick!​"

According to the announcement, the little one was born on September 12 and since then has been thriving and healthy, living on a diet of fish and "fish milkshakes."
