Over the past couple of weeks, staff at the Inbursa Aquarium in Mexico City have had their eyes glued to a single animal. In a way, it’s reminiscent of parents checking in on their newborn baby; aquarium staff made sure the animal’s mother didn’t squish him, watched so that other animals didn’t harm him, and registered when his mother fed him. The precious cargo is a baby gentoo penguin named Alex, which the aquarium says is the first Antarctic penguin born in Mexico.
