    Two British tourists, aged 21 and 20, swam into the dolphin enclosure at Sea World in Queensland, Australia while intoxicated in April 2012. They then entered the penguin enclosure and stole a penguin named Dirk, putting it in the shower back at their accommodation. Local police were alerted and rescued the unharmed penguin. The tourists were charged with trespassing, theft, unlawfully keeping a protected animal, and fined $1000 AUD. They wrote a letter of apology to Sea World and the Australian public, deeply regretting their actions.
