Not since Chester Cobblepot hobbled through the streets of Gotham City has a penguin so enthralled the public. A baby penguin named Pesto at Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium in Australia has taken the internet by storm, thanks to its girth. “At just nine months old, Pesto tips the scales at a whopping 21kg , thanks to his hearty appetite of 25 fish a day.
Pesto has also become a viral sensation. The aquarium posted a gender reveal for him earlier this month, and fans rallied around his stardom in the comments section. 'Pesto is a celebrity fr,' one person wrote. 'Pesto! You bring the world so much love and joy! Thank you for existing,' another penned. His fans on TikTok have jumped onboard the hype train by sharing their own videos while visiting him at the aquarium. Pesto isn't the only animal to go viral recently.
