I guess sea world didn't think putting low glass was a bad idea but this penguin showed them but after escaping it wanted back in most likely because they was planing on doing it when the park was closed.

Legal disclaimer the planed escape was a joke thankfully the penguin didn't get hurt and the exhibit and sea world take very good care of the animals it was just getting used to the exhibit and mis judge the jump.
 
The WESH article says:

SeaWorld workers quickly surrounded the penguin until a handler could arrive and return it to the water. The aftermath was captured by a guest on video.


The guest said she was concerned about her child's safety.


Ummm...if safety was a concern...maybe she shouldn't have whipped out the phone and videotaped, and gotten her child out of there?

I agree. She was probably just looking for free passes or something. Not sure how anyone would feel threatened by a penguin that was about 2 ft. tall!
 

according to sea world employees Penguins have jumped out of the new Antarctica exhibit more than once. It's just one breed of penguin and they expect to train them not to it always one bad apple that will lead to them be on lock down.
 
I read this and my first instinct was to drive to Sea-world and start looking worst case reward for finding and returning... bestcase new pet :cool1:

That what I was thinking to if they don't train Them quickly not to jump over the wall a guest will try to take one or try to pet one and then get bit and get a nice pay day out of doing something stupid. You will just need a lot of ice cubes and ac to keep it happy but now sea world will have to deal with people going their standing their waiting for one to do it and trying to catch it.


I wonder when they do it do they think to them selves dam it I did It again I jumped the wall now where those nice people to put me back into my home.
 
Sea World also said that because they are getting used to the new environment, sometimes they "mistime" their jumps and end up leaving the enclosure.

I don't think they are giving them enough credit. I think they timed it just right. :)

And fish dinners get expensive (and smelly)

I think that sea world built in protection after the first meal they would run back and return it just imagine how much they can eat. It can get expensive plus not every place might carry enough of it.
 
Penguin poo stinks! After the first deposit, any would-be penguin owners would be taking them right back to Sea World!
 
Sea world should of known they had escape artist because anyone who ever watched Madagascar knows those penguins like to escape.
 
Excellent point, David, and it brings up an interesting question. Do Disney people watch Dreamworks films?

SW exit security:
"Excuse me sir...
Is that a penguin in your pants?......"


:scared1: :scared1: :scared1:
 
An update n the installed tempory nesting to prevent escape so now they will bounce off the neat back into their home so when you go and see a penguin with a neck brace on you know why.
 
We have the same set up at our zoo and this happens once in a while. It's really no big deal. We have one who you have to watch and if he's on the ledge by the path everybody moves over because he jumps on your back. Doesn't bit just wnats a ride. Feels like a sack of potatoes though.
