"ohmuajee" is a baby king penguin that was born at Taipei Zoo in Taiwan on September 2001. "ohmuajee" means "black sticky rice ball" in Taiwanese. The name was given after a vote held by the zoo. The voters chose this name simply because this newborn chick is black and round -- just like a cute black sticky rice ball!
