  • King penguins are amongst the most interesting penguin species; and one of the most monogamous as well, as both males and females are very selective when it comes to pairing - a search that often leads to the birth of a penguin chick each year. Young penguins will be dependent on their parents until they are 14 to 16 months old, although they will not achieve reproductive maturity until 3 to 5 years of age.
    The welfare of animals under our care is our main priority. We thus ensure “the five freedoms” to those who live in Loro Parque: freedom from hunger or thirst; from discomfort; from pain, injury or disease; from fear and distress; and freedom to express normal behaviours, including reproduction. This guarantees the welfare of animals within the philosophy of Loro Parque as a modern and innovative zoo.

      Its regurgitated food. Penguin chicks are too young to eat food whole so their parents catch food, then regurgitate some of it for their chicks

    I've never heard of a king penguin. Those emperor penguins are cute.

      King Penguins are their cousins. King and Emperor penguins are two members of the "great penguins", as they are the largest of the penguins. Emperors are more famous because they breed in Antartica itself and have recieved more coverage in the media. But Kings are more disperse and populous, breeding on islands close to Antartica.
      Aside from being slightly shorter than Emperors, King penguins also have different young. Emperor penguon chicks have grey coats, king penguin chicks have brown coats. This chick is a bit small but as he grows older he'll have a really thick brown coat.

      No, you are incorrect. Use a search machine if you want more information on penguins and how they feed their chicks.

      It’s not gross, it’s just how penguins feed their chicks

    In comparison with their cousins emperors, king penguins have very ugly chicks.

      It's young, it hasn't grown feathers yet, in a few weeks to months it will grown some brown downie feathers.
