A small ball of feathers has arrived in the Cape penguin colony, at Planet Ocean, in Montpellier (Hérault): Océan and Calypso, a couple that has just been formed, had a baby, on March 25, to announce the complex, which brings together an aquarium and a planetarium, to Odysseum.
This is the sixth birth in the Montpellier colony, which has about fifteen individuals.
Atlas, Gaia or Ulysses?
The baby is in great shape, and is already visible to visitors.
But it has not yet been baptized: Planet Ocean calls on Internet users to give it a first name.
Three are available: Atlas, in reference to the titan of Greek mythology, Gaïa, as the Greek goddess and Odyssey, in homage to the journey of Odysseus.
