A two-week-old Little Penguin is fed a piece of fish by aviculture team leader Steve Malowski at the Cincinnati Zoo, Thursday, Jan. 27, 2011, in Cincinnati. The chick weighs about a quarter of a pound but is expected to weigh just over two pounds as an adult. Little Penguins are found along the coastlines of southern Australia and New Zealand. The Cincinnati Zoo is home to one of only four Little Penguin colonies in the U.S. and has successfully hatched 22 Little Penguins to date. (AP Photo/Al Behrman)

Young African Penguins head out to sea, after being released at Stony Point, Betty's Bay, about 130Km from Cape Town on January 18, 2010, in Cape Town, South Africa. A group of 63 penguins are released back into the sea after being rehabilitated at the South African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds, in Milnerton. These birds were part of a bigger group of 300 chicks that were abandoned by their parents. Scientists are unsure of what causes the adults to leave the chicks, but suspect changes in fish stocks, predation by a growing seal population, even climate change, can contribute to this phenomenon.

A worker at the South African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB), in Milnerton, loads a young African penguin, into a box, on January 18, 2010, in Cape Town, South Africa, before being released back into the sea. A group of 63 rehabilitated penguins were released at Betty's Bay, about 130Km from Cape Town. These birds were part of a group of almost 300 chicks that were abandoned by their parents. Scientists are unsure of what causes the adults to leave the chicks, but suspect changes in fish stocks, predation by a growing seal population, even climate change, can contribute to this phenomenon. The pink painted spots will allow researchers to identify and monitor the progess of these birds for a few months. AFP PHOTO/RODGER BOSCH (Photo credit should read RODGER BOSCH/AFP/Getty Images)
