A giant king penguin chick in Australia is breaking the Internet and attracting hundreds of visitors to a popular Australian aquarium. Chocolate brown and fluffy, the nine-month-old chick named Pesto weighs 23.5kg, more than double the combined weight of its parents.
The brown fur keeps the chicks warm during the winter and they then lose weight as they develop adult feathers.
Pesto is the biggest chick Sea Life Melbourne has ever seen, and that has made it a hit with fans around the world.
They claim that around 4 billion people had seen Pesto through the aquarium’s social media channels and website.
