CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Two chicks at the Shedd now have names - welcome Calista and Carmen!
The Shedd Aquarium announced Tuesday the names of the two Magellanic penguin chicks, previously known as Chick 420 and 421.
The Shedd Aquarium welcomed the two Magellanic penguin chicks following the annual breeding season that began with nesting in late March. Both eggs were laid by the same pair of penguins - Chile and JR. The newest penguin arrivals are Shedd's second and third Magellanic chicks born and bred at the aquarium.
Guests have the chance to see Calista (Chick 420) and Carmen (Chick 421) in the aquarium's Polar Play Zone, as they were recently introduced to the habitat and the rest of the colony. You can identify them by their coloring as the young chicks are a bit lighter and grayer than the other penguins, according to the Shedd.
