Seems like they watched the Hungover too many times.........

The Welshmen, who are on working holidays in Australia, drank 1.5 litres of vodka between them before deciding to have an up close and personal experience with Australian wildlife.

Dressed in a penguin tie, lawyer Bill Potts told the court his clients meant no harm to Dirk the fairy penguin, who they took from Sea World.

And when they awoke with hangovers and found the bird in their room they tried to care for it by feeding it bread and putting it in the shower.

Can't beleive they got away with just a $1000 fine and no conviction though......

More video of them doing it and waking up in the hotel room here:

True and if they had gone in thw wrong enclosure they could have been dead as well.

Must have been one hell of a good night out though..........

Gives a whole new meaning to:

P-pick up a Penguin — a lovely big Penguin,
When you pick up a P-P-P-Penguin there’s so much more to enjoy!

must have been quite a night.

The penguin didn't look too bothered in the video.

It probably enjoyed getting out of the same area it had seen for the rest of its life beforehand.

"lets go get a penguin man!" haha love it.

By far the worst part of the entire incident is that instead of manning up and taking the penguin back, they released it into a shark infested canal....if they had just taken it back, it would''ve been merely a funny story.

Marky · 2 May 2012 at 09:21

Haha what a weird story
