So everyone who knows me knows my favorite animal is a penguin. Unfortunately, US law prohibits private ownership. i looked into it because I knew of 3 people in the world that are so lucky to have made friends with such a magnificent creature. One is a Portuguese fisherman, who I hear has some trouble with his government over the penguin, so it may be illegal that as well. Another is a person in South Africa.
The last is a family in Japan. They have taught the penguin friend how to go shopping for fish. I am amazed but in a way i expect this level of intelligence from an animal that mates for life.
