Lincoln Park Zoo announces name of new penguin chick

Chicago residents voted, and one name was selected for the Lincoln Park Zoo's newest penguin chick.

The zoo said the winning name was "Waddle," after former Chicago Bears wide receiver host Tom Waddle. 

Waddle beat out Pebble, Uno, and Bean for the top spot.
