Endangered Penguin Chicks Named After Oasis Rock Stars

Hertfordshire Zoo celebrates the hatching of two African penguins with lively personalities, named after the Gallagher brothers.

The penguin chicks, named Liam and Noel, were born in August at Hertfordshire Zoo.
These are the first African penguins hatched at the zoo this year, marking a significant step for the species' conservation.
The chicks are part of the European Ex-situ Programme, aimed at preserving endangered species.
Known for their mischievous nature, the chicks have been nicknamed 'little terrors' by zookeepers.
African penguins are endangered, with an estimated 40,000 individuals remaining in the wild.
