The Journey of Hera: A Royal Penguin at Pairi Daiza

Pairi Daiza is celebrating the arrival of Hera, the first royal penguin born at the park. Official reports reveal that Hera was born on July 15 and required immediate medical attention as she could not escape from her egg. Her delicate surgery, performed by the chief veterinarian, ensured the survival of the 180-gram chick. After weeks of being hand-fed by keepers, Hera has gained strength and now weighs over 4 kilograms.

Hera’s Introduction to the Colony

Now, slowly being introduced to her penguin companions in a protected alcove, Hera is discovering their scents, calls, and the beauty of her new home. Pairi Daiza is home to several species of penguins, including royal penguins, gentoo penguins, and macaroni penguins, creating a lively habitat for both the animals and the visitors.
