14 DAY TRIAL // A two-week-old macaroni penguin chick living at the Detroit Zoo loves and adores its parents. What it doesn't know is that it was adopted.
Its true parents nested a wee too close to the pool, which was why zoo staff took the egg and hatched it with the help of artificial incubation, HuffPost says.
After the chick was born, they picked it up and put it back inside the egg it came from. The egg was then sealed and placed in the nest of the baby penguin's adoptive family, where it re-hatched.
Tubby and Purple Girl welcomed the chick into their lives, and soon enough started looking after the baby penguin as if it were their own.
The chick's gender hasn't been determined yet, but zoo staff hope they'll soon have an answer to this dilemma.
