A penguin chick with blond hair has been named after Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s newborn son, Wilfred.

Zookeepers at Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire admit that they dont' yet know what sex the tiny rockhopper penguin chick is. It will take a DNA test to confirm.

Rockhoppers are famous for their crest of bright yellow head feathers.
