A two-week-old little penguin is fed a piece of fish by aviculture team leader Steve Malowski at the Cincinnati Zoo, in Cincinnati. The chick weighs about a quarter of a pound but is expected to weigh just over two pounds as an adult. Little penguins are found along the coastlines of southern Australia and New Zealand. The Cincinnati Zoo is home to one of only four little penguin colonies in the US and has successfully hatched 22 Little Penguins to date.
