Calgary Zoo opens penguin naming poll for newly-hatched chick

WATCH ABOVE: Dr. Mallu from the Calgary Zoo joins Global Calgary with details on how they plan to pick the name of their newest penguin.

CALGARY – The Calgary Zoo is looking for help naming a baby penguin.

The Humboldt penguin chick hatched on June 26.

Since then, staff members have been watching him grow, and say he is finally old enough to leave the burrow.

Zoo keepers have selected three names for the chick, and are asking animal lovers to vote for their favourite in a poll on their website.

The choices include Alejandro, Emilio or Lorenzo.

Voting closes at 8 a.m. on September 4.

The Calgary Zoo will announce the winning name later that day on its Facebook page.
