Penguin "184" was hatched at San Diego Sea World.
The chick was hatched 12 weeks ago and is the first penguin to be successfully produced through artificial insemination.
This technology could greatly help the penguin, which, due to oil spills, is considered a "near threatened" species.
It is also intended to increase genetic diversity in captive penguin populations.
