SeaWorld San Diego is enlisting the public's help in naming its newest emperor penguin, a female chick hatched on Sept. 12. The poll closes on October 31.
The public will be able to help SeaWorld San Diego name its new emperor penguin chick — the first one hatched at the park in over a decade. As the hatching of an emperor penguin chick is 'such a significant event' for both the species and the park, SeaWorld is enlisting the public to help give the newest resident of the Penguin Encounter exhibit her name, the company told Fox News Digital.
Pearl,' said SeaWorld San Diego, means 'precious,' and is symbolic of something formed during hardships, says the poll. During her short life, the penguin chick has already endured much. The penguin chick's parents opted not to incubate her egg — leading to SeaWorld's staff having to incubate the egg themselves.
