Chester Zoo welcomes arrival of rare penguin chicks

Chester Zoo has welcomed the arrival of eleven adorable penguins - the most to hatch during ‘hatching season’ at the zoo for more than 10 years.

The new arrivals are the highly threatened Humboldt penguins, which are sadly now the most endangered out of all seventeen species, listed as vulnerable to extinction by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
