Rogue Penguins Break Out of Zoo Yet Again

Tokyo, Japan - Some pesky penguins in the Japanese city of Suzaka are acting like characters in a Madagascar movie and are giving zookeepers quite the headache with their repeated attempts to break free. A pair of 3-month-old chicks from Suzaka Zoo first escaped earlier this month by jumping off a slide.

Zookeepers spotted it swimming in a nearby pond a few hours later. More
