At just 9 months old, Pesto the baby king penguin weighs more than both his parents combined: "Our chonky king."

In late January, caretakers at Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium in Australia were ecstatic when a king penguin chick successfully emerged from his shell. The baby, which they named Pesto, was the only king penguin born at the aquarium in the last two years.

Moo Deng the baby pygmy hippo had her day in the viral TikTok sun and all the memes that came with her. Now? There’s a new viral sensation out there in the animal world, and it’s a big, fluffy penguin named Pesto in Australia, specifically at Melbourne’s Sea Life Aquarium.
