Rockhopper Penguin Chick

Went out on the AP wire today:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AUGUST 1, 2008
LINCOLN PARK ZOO, CHICAGO
CONTACT: 312-742-2246

Hello World! A rockhopper penguin chick at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago peaks out of its rocky crevice nesting den for the first time ever on Aug. 1. The chick hatched in early July and its sex is yet unknown.
Rockhopper penguins are one of the more northerly penguin species found on islands near South America, the southern Indian Ocean, Australia and New Zealand.
As their name implies, rockhopper penguins live and nest on rocky shorelines, and hop from rock to rock. Their populations worldwide have seen a steep decline over the past 30 years. They are listed as vulnerable due to the impact of commercial overfishing, pollution and global warming.
