Who can deny themselves an adorable baby penguin?

A recent group of newborn penguins at the Chester Zoo in England was weighed for the first time April 5. The tiny waddle was born on Easter Sunday and named after a few of their handler's favorite things: crisps.  

Tiny little Wotsit, Quaver, Frazzle and Cheeto weighed in around 75 grams each.
