CHESTER Zoo are asking members of the public to help suggest names for their newly-hatched penguin chicks.

The zoo put out an appeal on social media on Good Friday, April 10, asking for names with the theme of NHS heroes.

The theme of the names should recognise the work of NHS heroes.

A spokesman said: "Our Penguin chicks need names!

"The naming theme this year recognises the amazing work of our #NHSHeroes - please reply & nominate a hospital.

"So this little chick *could* be named Nightingale or Countess (after the Countess of Chester)

"Thank you from Chester Zoo."

Nominations can be given via the Chester Zoo twitter page.
