Not all animals on planet Earth can be domesticated, but many of them are ready to live next to a person and even cooperate to the best of their abilities.
The world heard about Lala in 1996, when the Real TV channel released a film about her. A penguin confidently walking down the street attracted everyone’s attention. Lala is one of the few tamed penguins in history.
The story is simple, once a Japanese fisherman pulled out his nets and found a tangled penguin. The bird was injured and, feeling guilty, the fisherman brought it back to shore and began to treat it.
The process dragged on, the whole family was involved in it and in the end everyone became so attached to the penguin that they called her Lala and left her.
More precisely, Lala herself did not want to return to the sea. It’s safe here, the food is free, all the conditions of life. Lala got used to it so much that she even began to go to the fish shop herself – that’s where the journalists appeared.
Lala walks freely through the streets of the city, as a full-fledged resident. At home, Lala had her own room with a special microclimate so as not to overheat. She really became a pet for the fisherman’s family.
