    Gardaí are searching for three men who stole a penguin from Dublin Zoo this morning.

    The penguin was bundled into a bag and taken away in a taxi at around 11am.

    The men told the taxi driver it was a rabbit and they were dropped off in Dublin's north inner city.

    The penguin was later found on the street and was taken to Store Street Garda Station.

    It has been safely returned to Dublin Zoo.

    worst penguin-napping ever!

    Or maybe it was a ninja penguin who waited for the most opportune moment to spring on his captors and kill them in unnecessarily brutal ways to teach them that they messed with the wrong penguin and theyll be found dead in a tree?

    The biggest laugh I had was thinking about the cops in Store St. answering the buzzer on the public counter to find a penguin staring up at them.

    And then they stood at the counter, singing to him, "Freeze a jolly good fellow".

    They're really looking for Batman, Robin and Alfred.

    It' wasn't dinner time and they still needed to get the rest of the ingredients. Fish starters with human main course all they needed was some ice cream and wafers and they where sorted.
