Zoo does not give up hope for stolen penguin Toga
It has been almost two weeks since Toga, a jackass penguin, was stolen from the Amazon World zoo on the Isle of Wight in Southern England. This news article states that after a tip-off that the rare bird had been dumped in Portsmouth docks in a plastic bag, which failed to turn up anything, the zoo doesn't give up. It goes on with what it has been doing all christmas, following every lead they get. A spokeswoman of the Amazon World zoo says that Toga's parents, Oscar and Kyala (or Oscar and Layana, depending on the source), seem to be preparing to lay more eggs... The reward for the safe return of Toga, the stolen jackass penguin, has been increased to £31,000.
