Nine penguin chicks born at Chester Zoo given fruity names

Meet Plum, Banana and Lemon, nope we're not talking about a fruit salad, they're penguin chicks!

Chester Zoo is celebrating the birth of nine Humboldt penguin chicks.

Each year the keepers name the penguins using a different theme - in the past it's been brands of crisps and chocolate bars and in 2020 it was NHS Heroes - this year it's fruit!

Little baby Plum emerged from its egg first, followed by Satsuma, Lemon, Papaya, Iona Berry, Plum, Peach, Cherry, Rhubarb and Banana.
