The penguin has become one of the top search topics on Google and almost a celebrity on social media, but not for nothing! After its videos were posted on the web, the Pesto Penguin caught the attention of netizens as it is nothing less than one of the largest penguin chicks ever recorded.
At just 9 months old, Pesto weighs 21kg and is 90cm long. Despite his young age, he consumes about 25 fish per day. The animal is available for viewing at Sea Life Aquarium in Melbourne, Australia.
Pesto’s fame extends beyond the aquarium, attracting curious people from all over the world. Social media is filled with photos and videos showing not only Pesto’s impressive size, but also his playful interactions with visitors and caregivers. The “giant baby” was so successful that he received a visit from singer Katy Perry, who was fascinated by the animal. Information from G1 portal.
