The two-week-old penguin chick mistakes Dr. Karen Wolf’s finger for a piece of herring. Keepers and veterinary staff are hand-rearing the rare Magellanic chick back to good health after it was suffering from what appeared to be dehydration. Staff determined the chick needed extra assistance to survive including syringe feedings four times a day. It now weighs over one-pound. Dr. Wolf says, “without veterinary intervention the chick would not have survived. It was weak, dehydrated and unable to feed.” Feedings include a blend of herring and krill, vitamin supplements and herring with skin, bones and fins removed.
