TL;DR

SeaWorld San Diego celebrates the hatching of an emperor penguin chick, a rare and precious occasion for the threatened species. The chick needed assistance to hatch due to a beak malformation. SeaWorld is asking the public to help name the chick from three options: Pearl, Pandora, and Astrid. Emperor penguins are listed as a threatened species due to the loss of Antarctic sea ice and rising sea levels caused by climate change, which affects their breeding and survival.
