A visitor spotted the African
penguin, born in September, taking a stroll in the lion enclosure but the
animal was lucky as the lions were asleep inside rather than braving the icy
weather outside, Muenster zoo said on its website. It took keepers a day to get
the penguin out of the den, luring her out with a trail of herrings, the
statement said.
The escape gave the penguin, up to then only known as number
459, a name. Her minder now calls her Leona, the zoo said.
