The penguin pair Shim and Whatever will soon lay an egg, and then take turns incubating it over a 40 day period. They’ll co-parent the chick, both feeding and raising it after it hatches and until it fledges at 90 days old. Get your penguin nesting questions ready for the expert, meet him at the Penguin Nest Cam during the live chat, and ask away in the comments section below the player!
