SINGAPORE: A baby king penguin
waddled into view in Singapore's bird park on Wednesday (Dec 13), the first of
its kind to be hatched there in close to a decade.
Maru, which means
"round" in Japanese, came from parents Zoro and Sora, part of the
king penguin colony in the Jurong Bird Park's penguin exhibit, said Wildlife
Reserves Singapore in a press release on Wednesday.
To maximise survival chances,
keepers retrieved the egg and incubated it until it hatched on Oct 10.
