Penguins hatched during Oasis reunion..."My name is Noel and Liam".

Penguins born at British zoos have been named after the recently reunited 'Britpop legend' band Oasis.

Britain's Hertfordshire Zoo said it named two baby African penguins, Noel and Liam, respectively, hatched in August.

It is named after brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, the mainstay of the band Oasis, and the zoo explained that the penguins hatched and made the decision about the time the band announced the reunion.

He added, "Liam is feisty and quick, so his name suits him well, and Noel grew up very fast and went solo much earlier than expected."

Also, although Noel and Liam are now in different nests, I expected them to hang out together and show a wonderful partnership when they grow up.

African penguins are currently classified as an endangered species, with only about 40,000 remaining in the wild.
