Mark 1333 | Oasis stars inspire names of 'little terror' penguins (Noel & Liam) (UK) 11/Oct/2024 @Mark1333 | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Two endangered African penguin chicks, known as the "little terrors", have been named after rock star Oasis brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher to recognise their "mischievous personalities".
Hertfordshire Zoo in Broxbourne said the pair were part of the European Ex-situ Programme (EEP), an initiative aimed at preserving the genetic diversity and health of endangered species.
Liam and Noel were the first African penguins to be born at the attraction this year and were proving to be "quite the characters", the zoo said.
"These cheeky little birds have captured the hearts of zookeepers and visitors alike with their mischievous personalities, reminiscent of the legendary Oasis band frontman brothers."
