A baby penguin named Pesto, who at nine months old weighs 22.5kg (50 pounds) and towers over the adults at 90cm (roughly three feet) tall, has caught the eye of animal lovers around the world.
Pesto, who lives at the Sea Life Melbourne aquarium in Australia, is a king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus), the second largest type of penguin in the world, but he is big even for this species – taller even than his caregiver parents, Tango and Hudson.
