Penguins are, and this is an objective fact, the funniest thing on this planet. It doesn’t matter what they’re doing, when I look at them, I can’t help but laugh. But some things are funnier than others, and these two little blues in New Zealand have taken the cake– or, rather, sushi.

Police apprehended a pair of penguins after a staff member reported “hearing a ‘cooing, humming’ sound coming from near the warm grills beneath the mobile food truck.” This was the restaurant’s second visit that day by the wee vagrants.
The wanderers were soon identified as little blue penguins, as per HuffPost, and released back into the wild of Wellington Harbor. Police worked with the Department of Conservation and the Wellington Zoo to send the adventurous birds back to sea.
Probably they did what was best for the penguins, but I hope future interlopers are treated with a bit more hospitality.
GIVE. THEM. THE SUSHI.
