Penguin manages to escape from Tokyo by swimming at “tremendous speed” [shorties]

Be on the look out for a one year old Humboldt escaped from the Tokyo Sea Life park; the young penguin was caught speeding in the Kyu-Edo River headed towards Tokyo Bay.

But wait, things get even better: the penguin apparently escaped by climbing a wall, though how a penguin could climb a wall is beyond me. Maybe there is some truth to those Madagascar ninja-penguins after all. Apparently, officials have tried to capture the penguin, but so far he has eluded them by ‘swimming at tremendous speeds’.

Humboldt penguins are declining fast, mostly due to the global warming of waters and reduced food supply.
