More than 1.9 billion people around the world have watched videos of Pesto on social media. As heavy as both his parents combined, fans say they 'can't wait to see him grow'.
An abnormally large king penguin chick called Pesto has become a viral sensation. The chunky penguin chick is a star attraction at the Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium in Australia, where last week he ate more than his own body weight in fish. More than 1.9 billion people around the world have watched videos of him on social media, with some fans saying they 'can't wait to see him grow'. Weighing 22kg at nine months old, Pesto is as heavy as his parents Hudson and Tango combined.
Some social media users said he is the 'definition of oh lawd he comin', referencing a meme about animals on the heavier side. Others questioned how big his egg was. Pesto is approaching adulthood now so his growth will plateau soon. He has started to lose his brown feathers and will replace them with the black and white plumage of a young adult. His keepers expect he will trim down to about 15kg in the process. 'He's going to start losing that really adorable baby fluff.
