New England Aquarium debuts new African penguin chick
BOSTON - A new African penguin chick made her debut with the penguin colony at the New England Aquarium on Wednesday.
The chick was born in March and now weighs about six and a half pounds. She can now join the colony of 40 other African penguins because her waterproof feathers have come in.
The aquarium named the chick Bray after the donkey-like sounds African penguins make.
African penguins are an endangered species and the aquarium said they've hatched 108 chicks since the 1970s.
