Lala is a 14-year old king penguin rescued from a fishing line by a Japanese family. After they nursed the bird back to health, it refused to leave their home. Now Lala the pet penguin wears a penguin backpack on his way to the fish market to pick up fresh seafood for his adopted family and grab a snack for himself.
Penguins got soul.
errr. *cues Misato's theme*
Thank you. That just made my week.
-- yay!!!!!
shit like this literally stops me from killing myself. the world can't be all that bad with lala and knut in it.
soooooooo sweet!
Okay fine, but is he toilet trained? Seriously, any animal that small that can swallow a whole fish that large must leave some nasty droppings.
Still, it IS a cute story. And even more amazing considering Lala has survived for 10 years in an urban environment without getting run over.
One of my favorite books as a child was "Mr. Popper's Penguins". I always used to want a one for a pet. That impractical desire has now been rekindled. Thank you!
I'm sorry, it is cute, but I can't get over the fact that Lala's super-refridgerated room is slowly leading to the destruction of his species natural habitat. He might as well be human.
