When it comes to health, we always put our best flipper forward - that’s why regular veterinary exams are so important! 🩺
Last week, our Humboldt chick had its second veterinary checkup. The process began with Animal Care Technician, Valerie, carefully crawling into the burrow to gently retrieve the little one. First up was a weight check, followed by a health exam by members of our dedicated Animal Health team. They conducted an eye exam, administered a second dose of the West Nile vaccine, and drew blood to determine the chick’s sex. Thanks to the gentle hands of our team, the chick stayed calm throughout. Afterward, the chick was safely returned to its burrow, where penguin parents, ‘Penelope’ and ‘Chico’, were waiting. Now that’s what we call a peng-win! 🐧
Stay tuned for more updates on our growing Humboldt chick!
