Three penguins, two males and a female, who disappeared from L'Oceanogràfic this Palm Sunday, have been found wandering the streets of Fonteta de Sant Lluís and the nearby countryside.
The waterfowl, who bear the names Frodo, Sam, and Arwen, were found refreshing themselves in a water canal (acequia) near Mrs. Elena Primera Broma's vegetable plot.
Her grandson Rodrigo and his boyfriend Jinu, both students at the University of Valencia, had already spotted the penguins in the Turia riverbed, not far from the Palace of the Arts (Opera House) and taken them home to Rodrigo's maternal grandmother Elena, who, after feeding them with fish sticks from her fridge, has just dialled 112 and is waiting for Oceanogràfic staff to take the penguins home to the Antarctic habitat.
"Penguins in our acequias is the kind of thing that you see once in a blue moon, and I saw in the news that these three have disappeared. It will be great for them to return home from their travels," the old lady says.
