Japanese zoo calls off hunt for escaped penguin

Keepers from Tokyo Sea Life Park have spent the last month searching the river where it was last seen.

The penguin swam away as a tourist shot a photo of it. They only realised it was missing because of this photo!

The keepers believe it is doing fine near the river on Tokyo Bay. In August, the bird will moult and reveal its adult black-and-white feathers. They hope that then more people will recognise it as a penguin and report back to them where it is.
