Penguin wandering through streets detained by Peruvian police

Police in Peru picked up a penguin after it was spotted running dazed and confused through the streets on a Saturday night.



Officers did face some difficulty as they tried to detain the Humboldt penguin, and the frightened little creature defended himself with a few pecks.

The penguin was apparently left stranded after falling from a vehicle and as he wandered in the roads, he narrowly avoided being bitten by a dog and run over by a taxi.



As soon as the penguin was taken to the police station, he was fed fish and affectionately named "Pingui". Arrangements are now being made for Pingui to be taken to a local penguin habitat not too far from where he was found in the northern Peruvian region of Ancash.
