A large penguin became famous on the Internet (2 photos + 1 video)
A nine-month-old penguin named Pesto from the Melbourne Aquarium has become a star of social networks. The penguin eats well and does not deny himself anything in this life.
Pesto the penguin has become a star of social networks, having grown larger than all his relatives while still a chick.
He eats 25-30 fish daily, and in nine months he has gained 22.5 kg in weight, while adult king penguins weigh from 9.3 to 18 kg.
Soon Pesto will go through his first molt and will no longer be so fluffy-cute and big, but he will still be larger than many other individuals.
Pesto's weight may be related to his genetics. The celebrity's father, Blake, is the largest and oldest penguin in the aquarium. Good living conditions also contribute to rapid growth: the plump one is surrounded by attention and care.
