Chester Zoo have just welcomed four adorable baby penguins in amazing footage which shows the chicks taking their first steps.

The Humboldt penguins have been named after their keeper’s favourite brands of crisps, Quaver, Cheeto, Frazzle and Wotsit.

The cute footage which was uploaded by Chester Zoo, shows Wotsit and Frazzle getting weighed just a few hours after entering the world.

The chick’s parents are both involved in rearing their new born with keepers carefully carrying out checks on their weight and development over the next few weeks.

Humboldt penguins are one of the world’s 17 species of penguin and are becoming an increasingly rare breed of animals.

Keepers at the popular zoo use a different theme each year to help them name their new animals, from chocolate bars to curries.

We love this year’s crisp theme!
