While these newborn baby penguin hatchlings haven’t even opened their eyes yet, they have no problem recognizing that they are siblings as they are introduced to each other for the first time since being outside of their cozy eggs.
The two African penguin chicks, which have yet to be named as their gender has not been determined, were born at the Dallas Zoo on Jan. 28 and Feb. 1 to proud parents Tulip and Tazo who have been splitting their parenting duties equally.
At their first weigh-ins, the two fluffy hatchlings weighed just 2.5 ounces, and while they will grow quickly, they won’t start swimming with mom and dad until they are around 3.5 months old.
When the staff placed the two penguin chicks down to meet each other for the first time, they had no trouble recognizing each other and immediately cuddled up to each other and gave each other an adorable hug.
Watch the adorable video below to see the adorable moment these two penguin hatchlings meet for the very first time.
