Dublin Zoo is celebrating the hatching of two Humboldt penguin chicks.
The first chick was born to parents Monica and Joey and 5 days later a second chick was born to Magdalena and Patrick.
Magdalena and Patrick are Monica's parents, their other offspirng include Chandler and Phoebe.
People can watch Dublin Zoo's penguins via the live webcam, where they may catch a glimpse of the new arrivals.
The new arrivals are the first penguin chicks born at Dublin Zoo since 2013.
The two new-borns become the newest members of the 16 strong colony in Dublin Zoo’s penguin habitat.
Ciaran McMahon, team leader at Dublin Zoo said: “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome these Humboldt penguin chicks to Dublin Zoo. They are important births for the species. Some of the parent names might seem strangely familiar to fans of a certain show, but in the last number of years all new arrivals at Dublin Zoo have been given names from the country they are native to.
“While the Zoo is currently closed to the public, this goes to show that life goes on! The penguin habitat is one of the most popular at the Zoo, and we look forward to welcoming people back as soon as we can,” he concluded.
