the Texas penguin incident
August 9, 2006The truck was moving 25 penguins, an octopus and several fancy fish to a tourist attraction in Galveston. As trucks sometimes do, it overturned, spilling out the penguins and the others, who were protected by plastic bags. Some of the bags, unfortunately, spilled their contents as well, and some fish didn’t make it.
The octopus survived. Most of the penguins huddled in a ditch, and will get to compare notes on exactly what happened. A few died.
