There were penguins in the Toronto Star newsroom

Pete and Penny the penguins visited the Toronto Star newsroom Thursday to promote a new exhibit, called Antarctica, at the Sea World in Orlando. They flew on a plane with a handler from Orlando to Toronto for a promotional tour. Needless to say, we were happy to see them.

  5. It's not the first time wild animals have been in the Toronto Star newsroom. In December, a reindeer visited, along with Santa and Mrs. Claus. It was part of a prank war between reporters.

    @JonFilson I love seeing all the hard-nosed Star reporters excitedly snapping pics of Penguins like 8-year-olds at a petting zoo. Adorable.

    @cdnbusinessmag writers envious of penguins at @torontostar. They want their own. Anyone know where I can get a tuxedo for a pigeon?
