Description Two of Chessington zoo's Humboldt penguins (Spheniscus humboldti), from personal experience these guys can be a nightmare, especially when hand reared!

They tend to give a pink flush around the beak and cheek area when it becomes warm, they are listed as vulnerable on the IUCN list due to climate change and over fishing, these guys are native to Chile and Peru.
