The zoo in Kiryu City, Gunma Prefecture, which had been closed due to the new coronavirus, has reopened this month, and the baby Humboldt penguins that returned in December last year are entertaining visitors.

"Kiryu gaoka Zoo" has been closed since December 19th last year after the prefecture's alert level was raised to "4" due to the spread of the new corona infection.



The baby Humboldt penguins, which resumed on the 10th of this month due to the reduced alertness and returned in December last year, are entertaining visitors.

It has grown to about 30 cm in length and has been out of the nest since early last month, but the feathers on its back remain gray and the fish it feeds are fed by its parents.



On the 17th, they swam in the pool and screamed near their parents to show their cute appearance, and visitors took pictures.



It is the first time in about a year since December that the Humboldt penguins have changed their chicks at this zoo, and there are 10 Humboldt penguins including Charles.



A 36-year-old woman from Kiryu City who visited with her daughter said, "I'm glad I was out and swimming."



A 20-year-old woman from Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture, said, "It looks cute, but it sounds like an uncle and it's also cute."
