Another Weird Story That Only Exist In Japan. I don’t know much about Penguin but i am sure this japanese Penguin named Lala would be the Smartest Penguin In The World. Lala Penguin Goes Shopping in Japan. Penguin Wears a Backpack and Walks to the Fish Market to Fetch Dinner.
Lala The Shopping Penguin
Everyday Lala, the King penguin, has a shower, puts on his backpack and waddles the 329 steps to the local fish monger to buy his ration of five fish. He swallows a whole mackerel or two and then carries the rest home in his mini backpack. Only mackerel or sardines will do for this king!
“Lala is like my firstborn son” says Yukio Nishimoto, a construction manager living in Shibushi, in southern Japan with his a wife and two daughters. So how did a penguin end up living in a home in a country where whaling and selling turtle shell and ivory are still legal?
It all started more than 20 years prior to the video (circa RealTV Oct/96) when Yukio Nishimoto said he admired a stuffed penguin belonging to fisherman friend. Later, when the fisherman went fishing for tuna off Australia and South Africa he discovered a penguin caught in his net with a badly injured beak and wing. The fisherman knew the penguin would die or be eaten by sharks it was thrown back into the water so he kept it aboard, tied around the ankle with wire except at feeding time.
Three months later the ship arrived back in Shibushi when Yukio received a call “My friend said ‘If the penguin dies, you can stuff it.’ He said he would not do it.” Yukio said okay but little by little Lala won his heart.
