Today in adorable penguin news is the story of Dirk, a Fairy Penguin who lives at an Australian Sea World park. Dirk was kidnapped this past weekend and endured a harrowing adventure involving several assailants, a dog, a shark, and finally a rescue. That's a big adventure for such a little guy.

In the wake of yesterday's tragic killing of an experienced Sea World trainer, Dawn Brancheau, by a killer whale named Tilikum, Sea World has suspended the "light-hearted," "quirky"  Twitter account for Shamu that they set up about a year ago.
