ZSL London Zoo's Penguin Beach Has A New Resident

It''s a fluffy baby penguin!!! Take a first look at the early arrival.

This fluffy little guy was born two months early, surprising the staffers at ZSL London Zoo, due to the cold weather. He was just a little egg, laid on Christmas Eve, and hatched on February 2nd! Check out the cutie below:

He's already proving to be a bit of a prima-donna:

He already knows the deal, telling his handlers whenever he's ready to eat. Smart penguin.

"There's a new arrival at Penguin Beach. Obviously it's not as cute as me, but it's still pretty cute." I don't Ricky, it looks like someone might be trying to get you a run for your money.

Congrats to the young parents who forgot when breeding season was, he's perfect!
