It was an exciting morning for African penguin juveniles Diamond, Pearl, Onyx, and Topaz! They were the first group of endangered “gemstone” chicks to be introduced to the outdoor habitat. With a little encouragement, they found their way into the pool. The younger precious penguin chicks will join them later this spring. 🐧 #penguinchicks #zoo #breedingseason #penguin #africanpenguin #zoo #marylandzoo #maryland #baltimore #gemstones #diamond #pearl #onyx #topaz #gem #preciouspenguins #endangeredspecies #conservation #savingspecies
