Tokyo’s runaway penguin ‘No 337′ to be given a name
National Adam Westlake on Jun 25 2012 No CommentsAfter escaping from the Tokyo Sea Life Park aquarium and spending 82 days on the loose in and around the Tokyo Bay, the Humboldt penguin that earned headlines around the world is finally ready to be given a real name. Up until now, and even prior to its escape, the penguin was known to staff only as "number 337," because at its age it is very difficult to determine its gender just by looking at it. After being recaptured last month, and given a full health checkup, the penguin is back in the aquarium for visitors to observe, and the park officials are ready to give the bird a name.
