Penguin chick safely hatched at Calgary Zoo

A king Penguin egg cracked early putting the chick in danger. Quick thinking staff at Calgary Zoo used shell pieces left over from a Humboldt penguin egg from two years ago. They patched the egg and put it in the incubator. The little penguin chick successfully hatched on August 7.

I am impressed by the quick thinking staff who found a way to patch the egg. It would have been too soon and the little chick would not have survived.  I hope he has a long and happy life. He certainly has been lucky so far.
