Meet Pesto the Penguin, the chubby star who's waddling into hearts everywhere and went viral overnight

A nine-month-old king penguin named Pesto, weighing 22.5kg and standing 90cm tall, has gained global attention. Pesto resides at Sea Life Melbourne aquarium and is notably larger than typical king penguins. His impressive size is attributed to good genes and diet. Another animal gaining social media fame is Moo Deng, a pygmy hippopotamus from Thailand.
