Japan penguin escapee 'spotted' in Tokyo Bay


A penguin which escaped from Tokyo's Sea Life Park has reportedly been spotted swimming in waters around the Japanese capital.
The one-year-old Humboldt - which fled its enclosure in March - was caught on video near Tokyo's Rainbow Bridge, according to Reuters news agency.
A Sea Life Park official identified it as the escapee, recognising a distinctive ring round a flipper.
"It looks like it's been living quite happily," Kazuhiro Sakamoto said.
"It didn't look like it has got thinner over the last two months - or been without food," he added.
In March, the penguin - known only as No 337 - escaped by scaling a rock wall and a barbed-wire fence, the Tokyo Sea Life Park believes.
