We have just welcomed a macaroni penguin chick to our colony! In this video, the chick is under the close, watchful eye of mother Puttanesca and father Tortellini. The chick hatched on June 3, and this marks the first time we have had a Macaroni pair successfully raise their chick, in the past we have foster reared or hand reared macaroni penguin chicks. | Central Park Zoo
