Five penguin chicks at London Zoo have been named after famous people from the past 70 years, in honour of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Hillary, Apollo, Bobby, Bernie and Mac are just one month old and are being hand-reared by zookeepers after their parents were unable to look after them.
The chicks have spent the past four weeks indoors under a heat lamp and have toy penguins from the zoo’s giftshop to snuggle up to and keep them company.
Hillary was named after Sir Edmund Hillary and another was named Apollo, to mark the moon landing in 1969. Bobby has been named after former England football captain Bobby Moore and Bernie was named after Sir Tim Berners-Lee, who invented the World Wide Web in 1989. The fifth chick has been named Mac, after Dame Ellen MacArthur.
Cute coverage galore!
