A tiny Humboldt penguin chick has made its debut at the Oregon Zoo, hatching to the delight of zoo staff and visitors.

The chick, which started 'pipping' on March 2 and fully emerged on March 4, is being well cared for by its parents in their nest according to Marcus Jason, the zoo's penguin habitat overseer. This adorable new arrival is the 194th Humboldt chick to hatch at the zoo since the breeding program began in the 1980s.
