A little penguin was born January 8th at the Cincinnati zoo and keepers there decided to name it Bowie because it shares the same birthday of the late singer. All of this took place prior to David Bowie’s death Sunday. Keepers were also considering naming the bird Elvis because Elvis Presley’s birthday is also January 8th, but they already have a King Penguin named Elvis. Pretty soon they’ll be able to start a band with all those rock star penguins.
