The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden named its newly-hatched penguin after Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.

In keeping with the theme of naming its little blue penguins after things related to food, the chick's full name is Cup O' Joe Burrow.

Little blue penguins are native to Australia and New Zealand. They can live to be 20 to 25 years.

Bengals fans may remember 1981's "Freezer Bowl," the blustery AFC Championship victory that sent the Bengals to the Super Bowl that year. While little blue penguins prefer more temperate climates, perhaps the new hatchling will put some ice in the veins of the Bengals as they head to Los Angeles for Sunday's big game.

The Cincinnati Zoo is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
