From The Pittsburgh Channel.com,
While Pittsburgh’s hockey Penguins chase the Stanley Cup in Detroit, a young counterpart is waiting for them to bring it home so he can swim in it.
Sidney the penguin, named after team captain Sidney Crosby, hatched at the National Aviary on the city’s North Side in February.
“He can eat up to a pound of fish a day by himself,” said Erin Estell, manager of animal programs at the aviary. “He only weighs about five pounds. In the wild, that is a fifth of their body weight that they are eating.” That’s like a person eating 80 double cheeseburgers a day.
Update 6:37pm ET: For more on Sid the Kid Meets Wild Kingdom, Eric McErlain at AOL Fanhouse posted on what amounted to Sidney, The Diarist Turtle a few days ago.
To quote James Mirtle, “The internet’s a strange, strange place.” Indeed.
