They join two female chicks at the Aquarium of the Pacific.

Two male chicks are slated to go on exhibit Tuesday at the Aquarium of the Pacific, following the debut of two female chicks earlier this week.
The public will have the chance to see all four chicks in the aquarium’s June Keyes Penguin Habitat, starting 9 a.m. this Tuesday.
The aquarium has live webcams in the June Keyes Penguin Habitat, allowing people around the world to tune in to catch a glimpse of the chicks exploring the habitat, according to a press release. Cameras are located above and below the water, giving viewers up-close and candid looks at the lives of the aquarium’s penguins.

Native to Argentina and Chile, this penguin species prefers a more temperate climate such as that of Southern California than their Antarctic-dwelling cousins, according to Aquarium officials.
Magellanic Penguin chicks hatch with their eyes closed and are able to open them about a week later. After about 90 days, the chicks fledge, losing their downy newborn feathers, which are replaced with water-tight, sub-adult feathers.
