A zoo in England proudly announced the hatching of two baby African penguin chicks. This event is seen as a vital step in the conservation efforts for this endangered species.

The Hertfordshire Zoo reported that the chicks hatched in August. They are already exhibiting signs of independence, leaving the nest sooner than expected for their kind. The zoo highlighted that this early maturity reflects their healthy condition and vitality.

The chicks have been named Noel and Liam, honoring the Gallagher brothers from the band Oasis.

These spirited birds have endearing personalities, charming zookeepers and visitors alike. Their antics are reminiscent of the famous Oasis frontmen. Interestingly, unlike the band, known for their split, these penguin siblings display a touching bond, remaining inseparable.

The vibrant personalities of Noel and Liam have led to the affectionate nickname "the little terrors."

African penguins are categorized as an endangered species, with around 40,000 still remaining in the wild.
