Sydney: Pesto the penguin towers over the colony at his Australian aquarium home, a fluffy brown furball impossible to miss as he waddles across the ice.
The nine-month-old king penguin chick has shot to fame for his 23.5-kilogram (51.8-pound) heft -- the weight of an overstuffed suitcase.
Pesto already weighs more than his parents Tango and Hudson combined. They tip the scales at about 11 kilograms each.
And with a healthy diet of up to 25 fish a day, Pesto's rotund frame will only continue to grow, senior penguin keeper Emily Thornton told AFP.
The feathered unit is well-behaved, curious and confident, Thornton said, often interacting with other penguins and his keepers.
