The Cincinnati Zoo welcomed its first baby animal of 2016 on Friday, a birth which became more significant with the news of the death of beloved musician David Bowie. Friday happened to be both Elvis Presley's and David Bowie's birthday, so when the zoo welcomed its new blue penguin, both names were considered. The Associated Press reports that since the zoo already has a king penguin named "The King," it was decided on Friday that the new chick would be named "Bowie." According to the zoo's bird keeper, the Cincinnati Zoo currently has 33 little penguins ? the largest colony of penguins in the U.S.
