Three Welsh men have been accused of breaking into the Queensland Sea World and stealing Dirk the penguin.
After a night of drinking, the men broke into the park, went swimming in a dolphin tank and brought Dirk back to their hotel room. They eventually released Dirk into a canal where he was spotted by a couple. Dirk survived and was brought back to Sea World.
The men were caught by police after detailing their escapades on Facebook and have been charged with trespassing, theft and unlawfully keeping a protected animal. More details can be found at the Daily Mail.
