Meet Bowie
Rock genius and glamour god David Bowie was an odd bird, and proud of it. So it's fitting that just days before the artist's death yesterday from cancer, another odd bird was named in his honor—a newborn Little Penguin that hatched last week at a zoo in Ohio.
Last Thursday, when officials at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden, which hosts the largest Little Penguin colony in North America, realized that one of their chicks was starting to break out of its shell, they put out a call on Facebook asking for naming suggestions. The chick was born the next day, weighing in at less than half an ounce, and was promptly named “Bowie,” as per popular opinion. (Friday also marked the legendary artist's 69th birthday, and the release date of what turned out to be his final album.)
