The first of 10 California condor eggs has hatched at the San Diego Wild Animal Park, officials said Wednesday.
The chick weighed 183 grams and was healthy when it was hatched Friday, they said.
When the chick is 2 months old, park officials will release it and any other hatchlings into a habitat with two condors that will teach the chicks how to behave.
The chicks could be released into the wild within a year, park officials said.
