All of the King Penguins are named after royalty. The zoo said Edward was named after King Edward VII.

Zoo staff don’t know who the chick’s father is. On Facebook, the Calgary Zoo said it would take blood samples from all the male penguins to figure it out, and at this point they won’t be doing that until it’s necessary.

Edward is the second King Penguin born at the Calgary Zoo.
