Penguins p..p..pick up a place name

IF IT’S good enough for the Prime Minister’s daughter, it is good enough for a pair of newborn penguin chicks.

After David Cameron chose to name his little girl Endellion – a reference to the north Cornish village close to where his wife Samantha went into labour – keepers at London Zoo decided to follow suit.

Primrose and Regents are the latest additions to the penguin enclosure. The two African black-footed chicks, born to the same parents, are named after local landmarks Primrose Hill and Regent’s Park.
