Nintendo names for population power-up penguins!

Three penguins from the Isle of Man have been named after videogame characters as they help a UK zoo repopulate following a devastating epidemic.

The Humbolt Penguins travelled from the Curraghs Wildlife Park to Dudley Zoo after the West Midlands facility lost 65 of its 70 birds to malaria last year.

All three chicks are said to be settling in well - and this week the zoo revealed their Nintendo-inspired names.

They'll be known as Mario, Luigi and Bowser.
