Visitors to Adventure Aquarium in Camden are getting an early Christmas gift. Two baby African penguin chicks have joined the colony.

The chicks, named Oscar and Duffy, are the aquarium's 51st and 52nd penguins — a milestone for the facility.

African penguins were reclassified as critically endangered in October 2024 due to habitat loss and environmental factors.

Aquarium officials say the new arrivals highlight the importance of conservation efforts for the species.
