Meet Pesto the penguin, an absolute unit, massive King Penguin chick in Australia
Follow Us : 
The Yao Ming of penguins has been born and is thriving in an Australian aquarium. You’ve got to see Pesto the penguin, a baby King Penguin at Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium.
You are not prepared for the height and girth of this absolute unit. Feast your eyes like Pesto feasts on 25 fish per day.
Pesto is legitimately huge. He’s an outlier in size and already towering over the adult penguins in his enclosure. The aquarium reports he is already 21 kilograms, or nearly 50 pounds, at just nine months old. Most sources online note that fully grown, adult King Penguins typically weigh between 30-35 pounds.
The internet has fully fallen in love with big baby Pesto, because that’s what the internet does.

I, personally, am ready for my Twitter feed to return to mostly photos of Moo Deng the baby hippo and Pesto the baby penguin. pic.twitter.com/Vlmn4XzdLJ
