The Humboldt penguin chick born recently at Sewerby Hall and Gardens has now been named by the team at the zoo.
The female chick – the second grandchild of the late Rosie – hatched on Easter Saturday, 8 April, 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.”
Penguin parents Sigsbee and Twinnie have been looking after Crackle well since her arrival, and she is already proving popular with visitors to the zoo.

Grandmother penguin Rosie, who was one of the world’s oldest Humboldt penguins, died in March, just a few weeks short of her 33rd birthday, with her death making headlines as far away as the USA.
