The Kansas City Zoo says its staff is raising 8 fluffy Macaroni Penguin chicks. It is the first time the zoo has has that species of penguin in its 110 year history. Their eggs were flown in from Seaworld San Diego and hatched in incubators at their new home. Zoo officials said employees are hand-raising the chicks, and that each of them needs to be fed up to six times a say. Macaroni Penguins are native to the Sub Antarctic. The chicks are hidden from the public, for now, but are expected to join the general exhibit in the coming weeks.
