After the excitement that Andi the Penguin had laid an egg this Easter, hearts at St Andrews Aquarium are cracking with the news it did not produce a chick.
Humboldt penguin, Andi, named in honour of Andy Murray who became Wimbledon Champion in 2013, served up an ace at easter by unexpectedly laying the egg,
John Mace, Manager at St Andrews Aquarium, commented: “We are very sad for Andi that her first egg didn’t turn into a chick, but the egg’s arrival was very, very unexpected as Andi is still quite a young penguin, so we were prepared for all potential outcomes although that doesn’t make it any less heart breaking.
“Andi appears to be really well in spite of her loss and the team are keeping an extra special close eye on her.”
