Rare penguins born at Dudley Zoo

Nine rare penguins have been born at Dudley Zoo.

Two of the Humboldt penguins, a breed from South America, are now large enough to join the adults in the main enclosure.

The rest are being looked after in a special nesting box.

Dudley Zoo said it has the largest colony of parent-reared Humboldts in the UK and it's incredibly proud of what it's achieved.

Ben Vanes, senior birdkeeper, said Humboldts made "great parents."
