This Rescued King Penguin Loved Going To The Fish Market

While there are so many people who find penguins absolutely adorable, given the right circumstances, few of us would dare to keep them as pets. However, once the opportunity arose, this Japanese family didn’t shy away from keeping one in their home, making it probably one of the most peculiar pets people have ever seen. In fact, it was so rare back in the day, that journalists from around the world were trying to get in touch with the family and interview them. In the ’90s, Real TV managed to make a short documentary about the penguin in question, who is named Lala and lives in a small Japanese village.
