Plucky penguin chick warms London hearts

-

Keepers at London Zoo have managed to save a tiny penguin chick named Rainbow after its parents accidental­ly cracked its egg before it had hatched. After realising the chick was still alive, they removed bits of shell with tweezers and moved it to an incubation room. “We were overjoyed when she started begging for food by opening her mouth wide and making tiny squawks. It was the first sign she might just make it,” said penguin keeper Suzi Hyde.
