This season’s first penguin chick born near Ukrainian Antarctic Station
According to the researchers, the penguin chick is “incredibly cute, very tiny, but it’s already quietly squeaking.” However, it is not yet possible to determine its gender.
“Monitoring the penguin nests on our Galindez Island is part of the biologists’ daily work, but now we have calculated in days that the penguins should just start hatching from the first eggs,” said biologist Marta Dzindra.
“We checked the nests at Penguin Point, where the first ones were found in November – it was quiet there. Then we went to nearby Cape Pigeon Rocks. We approached the nests, quieted down and heard the chick’s very quiet voice, and then we saw his proud mother.”
