A NEW female penguin chick at a popular zoo in the East Riding of Yorkshire has been named after a song by a legendary artist.

The female Humboldt chick – the second grandchild of the late Rosie, who was thought to be the oldest Humboldt penguin in the world – hatched at Sewerby Hall and Gardens zoo - and has been named Crackle.

Head zookeeper John Pickering said : “We wanted to maintain a connection with Rosie and we felt that the name Crackle would do just that, thanks to the song 'Cracklin’ Rosie' by Neil Diamond. We also think her name goes well with that of her older sibling, Pickle.”
