🐧 An African penguin chick who hatched at the New England Aquarium three months ago is now fully grown and on exhibit. Here's what we know:
In a glimmer of hope for the near-extinct African penguin population, a chick named"Bray" has reached full maturity and is joining the penguin colony on exhibit at the New England Aquarium.
African penguins, renowned for their distinctive donkey-like vocalizations, are born with downy feathers. Bray is now surrounded by several relatives, including her great-grandmother Deco, who holds the title of the oldest penguin at the Aquarium, having reached the remarkable age of 41. African penguins typically have a life expectancy of 10 to 15 years in their natural habitat along the coast of South Africa and Namibia.African penguins face the threat of extinction, mostly due to overfishing, oil spills, and climate change.
