The feathery friends, renowned for their psychic abilities, have prompted great excitement and hope to add another jewel to their crown by correctly guessing the name of the highly anticipated Royal baby.
As the nation gears up for the new arrival, members of the Gentoo colony will sit back and relax in their icy home, as they await the birth of Prince James.
James Robson, curator at The National SEA LIFE Centre Birmingham, explains: “Our penguins are really enthusiastic and enjoy playing new games, especially those that put their predicting powers to the test.
“We gave the penguins a choice of four rocks, each representing potential baby names for the newest addition to the Royal family. The Gentoos were quick to waddle towards the stone crowned Prince James – they even hopped on just in case there was any doubt.”
He added: “James is a perfect name for Baby Cambridge; the penguins couldn’t have picked better, even if I do say so myself!”
With Prince George’s sibling expected in April, the team at The National SEA LIFE Centre Birmingham is hoping the Royals will soon plan a fun-filled family day out and give their little ones an insight into an amazing underwater world.
The aquarium is home to over 2,000 creatures, such as sharks, as well as a rescued Giant Green Sea Turtle, otters, jellyfish, piranha, octopus and rays.
