Ecology Action Centre calls for immediate implementation of Coastal Protection Act | SaltWire - SeaWorld San Diego has welcomed the hatching of an emperor penguin for the first time in 13 years, announcing on Wednesday that the female chick came out of its shell with help from zoo staff on Sept. 12.
Listed as a threatened species, the emperor penguin is native to Antarctica and 17 of them live in a 25 degree Fahrenheit habitat at the marine theme park and zoo where the egg was laid on July 7, SeaWorld said. The emperor penguin is the biggest of all penguin species, and can reach 3.7 feet in height and weigh up to 99 lb , according to the World Wildlife Fund .
While other penguin males and females share incubation duties, the female emperor usually returns to the sea to feed after laying the egg, leaving the male to incubate the egg for more than two months when it does not eat. They usually mate for life, the WWF says.
