🎉 PFEIFFER! 🎉
Thanks to thousands of you who voted on a name for our new penguin chick!
Pfeiffer is currently behind the scenes receiving egg-cellent care from parents Walvis and Boulders and our un-bird-lievable aviculture staff. Once this curious chick molts into their waterproof juvenile plumage, they’ll be ready to join the rest of the African penguin colony back on exhibit!  Â
Pfeiffer hatched on March 24 as part of a Species Survival Plan for this critically endangered species. Working together with AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums, we can ensure that the population of African penguins across North America is healthy and diverse, and support recovery efforts in South Africa and Namibia.
