Aquarium staff will closely monitor the newly-hitched couple, as reported on What’s The Jam.
Ms Zhang said: “From December this year to January next year, we expect a large number of penguin chicks to be born.
“About three months later, the chicks will grow to the size of their parents and reach sexual maturity.

It’s not the first time Saintya Ocean World has organised penguin nuptials.
