We have just welcomed a macaroni penguin chick to our colony! In this video, the chick is under the close, watchful eye of mother Puttanesca and father Tortellini. The chick hatched on June 3, and this marks the first time we have had a Macaroni pair successfully raise their chick, in the past we have foster reared or hand reared macaroni penguin chicks. | Central Park Zoo

Our newly-hatched chinstrap penguin chicks are weighed every day when they’re young so that we can ensure the parents are feeding them properly, and to assess their overall health. After a few weeks, the weigh-ins will be every other day, then 3x a week, and then weekly as they get older. | Central Park Zoo
