Pet Penguin in Japan
June 17, 2010 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: VideoMy friend Kyle sent me this video the other day and I can’t stop watching it. It’s from RealTV, which I don’t think has been around since the late 90′s, and features a Japanese family who own a 10 year old King Penguin named Lala. For some reason they edited together like some kind of Charlie Chaplin adventure where the penguin goes to a fish market for a snack, but still it’s soooo dang cute. I mean, they make it seem like he’s a tiny person with a personality, I just can’t get enough. I wonder if Lala is still alive?

If you've got something to say, keep it positive.best thing i’ve seen all day. only in japan.
That is a the saddest thing I’ve seen all day. The loneliest penguin in the world.
The music is priceless. Thanks for this, I needed a laugh this morning!
I agree with the two different views expressed above. This IS adorable, but this poor little penguin really is alone in an environment where he was never intended to be. People should not be allowed to keep ‘pets’ such as these. :(
Exactly my thought. He might have adjusted to his situation, but he would still be better off in his natural habitat. People don’t realize (or don’t want to face the fact) that animals need to be able to interact with their own kind. This is indeed one lonely penguin. Not a million sardines from the friendly lady at the fish store could change that.
I agree with Gisele/Rachelle/Michael.

LaLa was rescued from a fisherman line and after healed, he refused to leave. He just chose his foster family.

@Kojima – Thanks for letting us know why he was there. I love when people want to immediately judge a situation that they know nothing about…
@Bobby Solomon – Me too. Thankfully these people can go attack the zoos now and waste other peoples’ time
I wonder if those old people at the beginning and end of the film are still alive!
Lonely penguin? Did you ask the penguin if he is lonely? Do you speak penguinese? Maybe you can worry more about the innocent cows, chicken, pigs, lambs that are slaughtered every day so you can eat your McDonalds burger, ur KFC, your Pizza Hut and yes, that leather purse you own.
Cute! He looks pretty happy to me!
Does anyone know where Lala lives; I’m concerned for his safety since the tsunami. Please respond. He is so adorable and I want to hear he’s all right. Thanks.
