When feeling bored, Boomer (aka Bummer) likes to steal objects and leave the evidence on the living room rug: some edible, some not. We THINK this tissue box was empty. We KNOW part of the cardboard box was ingested.
The side fence was open before I left for work and Camo found his way out of it. When I was looking for him to say goodbye, I realized he was nowhere to be seen. I was 2.5 hours late for work and ended up finding him about half a mile away on at a little airstrip we have in the neighbourhood. I was so scared a coyote got him. Coyotes terrorize our neighborhoods. He is safe at home now and we are making sure the fence is shut all the time.
The male Humboldt penguin chick hatched Sunday, July 26, to first-time parents Reina and Javier. According to zoo staff, who announced the arrival of the new chick on Facebook, Reina and Javier “have been great so far and are taking good care of their little one.”
The newest penguin doesn’t have a name yet, but the zoo will probably hold a naming contest for the public soon, according to the Calgary Herald.
He’s still camera-shy, but it won’t be long before he learns to love the spotlight.
