Chester Zoo in England has celebrated the hatching of 11 vulnerable Humboldt penguin chicks, the highest number in the past decade. The chicks, which hatched between April 11 and April 18, are named after plants, including Nettle, Thistle, Dandelion, Tulip, and Daffodil. Humboldt penguins are among the most at-risk species in the world. This successful breeding effort is a significant achievement for the zoo's conservation program.
