Loro Parque - one of Tenerife's most popular tourist attractions - has become the first zoo in Spain to breed Southern Rockhopper penguins.
The gender of these chicks is still unknown - it can only be determined by a DNA analysis when they have matured.
The Antarctic Rockhoppers are the smallest of the species and are easily identifiable by the colourful feathers they parade on the tops of their heads.
They have a wide variety of ways they communicate non-verbally, such as shaking their heads, flapping their wings, bowing deeply or grooming, which is always fun to watch.
The penguins get their name for their tendency to hop from rock to rock, instead of walking around them.
In addition to the Rockhoppers, several Gentoo penguin chicks have also been bred at Loro Parque.
If you're thinking about heading to Loro Parque, now is definitely the time to go to see their penguins at their best. At this time of year, the penguins are in their summer season and are sure to delight with their friendly antics as they enjoy the sunshine.
