TOKYO �
The hunt for a penguin at large in Tokyo after escaping from an aquarium continued for the third day Wednesday, with eight separate sightings of the feathered fugitive.
Staff from Tokyo Sea Life Park in Edogawa Ward were combing riverbanks in the Japanese capital for any sign of the bird, which is believed to have bolted from its enclosure at the weekend�leaving 134 other penguins behind.
The search was raised after a photograph emerged of the one-year-old Humboldt penguin bathing in the mouth of the Old Edogawa river, which runs into Tokyo Bay, on Sunday |

He might not make it back to South America, but maybe he can hang with some Japanese seabirds for awhile. |
