The Penguin was in our compound pool!

My son was playing with friends in the clubhouse in our compound last night, when they saw something in the pool. At first they thought it was a small dog, but when it got out, it was the Penguin. We live close to the beach near the Lebanese School, but I still have no idea how the little thing got here.

My husband caught this on his phone, but when they went to take a look it had vanished. We looked again this morning, but it was nowhere to be seen!

i thought the penguin in Qatar was a joke. but i have heard from a number of people now that said they saw a penguin in Qatar.

not all penguins live in the cold. there are some penguins that can with stand warm weather. so a penguin running around Doha is not too far fetched.

Well they already have the "Seals" for most covert work, so perhaps the "Penguins" will be used for those missions requiring stealth and camouflage.

News is that CIA is also looking for the penguin as they want the penguin to teach it's agents the art of disappearing in broad daylight.

How can you find it in the pool when he was in Brit's Lunchbox?

Do ask him about his next destination next time.
