Chester is a Humboldt penguin, which usually call South America their home. Unlike Antarctic penguins, Humboldt penguins enjoy both cold and warm weather.

So he feels right at home in the Italian sun or celebrating a white Christmas.

Chester lives in Germany but films across Europe. And did we mention he’s a penguin that can fly? Fly private, that is.

And don’t worry Chester doesn’t get lonely being a famous penguin in Europe, because he always rolls with his entourage.

Here’s a look behind-the-scenes with Chester.

While he’s dedicated to his craft, he still makes time to kick back with his crew.

And he always makes time for his fans, like this cute moment he chatted up a nice old lady.
