Spheniscus megaramphus Chick
Spheniscus megaramphus (chick)
This downy chick would have sheltered along the prehistoric Pacific coast of Peru, close to nesting ground and the sea. It relied on food brought back by a parent, receiving regurgitated fish and other small marine prey. Its oversized developing bill was already a notable feature, hinting at the formidable beak of the adult.
