00:00 Hi my name is Kaz, I'm one of the penguin keepers here at Folly Farm and I'm just
00:04 excited to tell you the happy news that we've had five Humbot penguin chicks
00:08 hatch here at Penguin Coast. So they are vulnerable in the wild, Humbot
00:14 penguins, and so it's really exciting for the breeding program as well. So each
00:18 breeding season we go for a different naming theme and that way we can keep
00:21 track of the chicks that we have on different years and so this year we've
00:25 gone for the theme of cheese. So our five penguin chicks are named Mozzarella,
00:31 Camembert, Cheddar, Halloumi and Gorgonzola. So we don't know the genders
00:36 just yet and they are still with the parents at the moment because the
00:39 parents are looking after them inside their nests but they're a month old so
00:42 in a few more weeks they'll be out and about, they'll be fledging and so you can
00:46 see them learning how to swim and be with the rest of the colony and we look
00:50 forward to seeing you soon.
