Five newborn Gentoo penguin chicks have hatched at Edinburgh Zoo.
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) has shared images of newly-hatched babies, and they are adorable.
Keepers at the wildlife conservation charity were delighted to report five chicks have emerged so far and hope more will follow in the coming weeks.
Among the first to become parents again this year were Muffin and Mittens, who welcomed a new chick on Monday May 2, and Draco and Silvey, who welcomed two chicks on Sunday, May 8.
The first month is critical for the chick’s development and, as always, the dedicated team at RZSS will be keeping a close eye on the new arrivals as they grow.
Keen penguin cam viewers have been able to catch a glimpse of the youngsters on the charity’s live webcams at edinburghzoo. org.uk/ penguincam
