Caldwell Zoo Supervisor of Birds Nikki Hartman takes Duncan the African black-footed penguin back out of his pen for socialization on Tuesday Jan. 30, 2018 in the bird keeper's area at the Caldwell Zoo in Tyler where he is living until he molts his baby feathers. The male chick was hatched on November 19th. Baby penguins cannot swim until after their first molt so he was pulled from the penguin exhibit, and is currently being hand raised by the keeper staff. As soon as the chick replaces his downy feathers with waterproof juvenile feathers he will begin swimming lessons with his keepers before returning to the penguin colony exhibit. (Sarah A.
