Penguin scales wall to escape from Tokyo aquarium

    Sometimes regular meals and the companionship of scores of other penguins just aren't enough. Penguin Number 337 seems to have decided something was missing from life at a Tokyo aquarium and took off.
    The one-year-old Humboldt penguin scaled a rock wall and squeezed through a fence during a daring bid for freedom some time in the past week, sparking a penguin hunt that included a city-wide call for information on the tubby fugitive.
    Tokyo Sea Life Park, on the shores of Tokyo Bay, was alerted to the escape of the bird, known only by its number, after receiving a photograph on Sunday that supposedly showed it swimming in the bay.
    'Yearning for adventure'
    Kazuhiro Sakamoto, the park's deputy director, thinks it may have been a case of happy feet.

    Escaping from jail is the easy bit. Getting back to the antarctic will be tricky.

    The species of penguin (Humboldt) is from South America. He'd make it back there no problem. ;)
