Paunchy Penguin's Sickness Puzzles
Vancouver Zookeeper; Many Drugs Used
Vancouver, B.C. U.R) A
paunchy penguin who stands
aloof from his . comrades - and
surveys his audience with . ob
vious distaste had his zookeeper
worried today,
The bird came here with his
seven friends two and one-half
years ago as a gift from the
governor of ' the Falkland Is-'
lands. All -eight were taken
aboard ship at South Georgia, an
island off South America, and
shipped north.
AH that's known about the
bird is that he , (or she) is very
sick and zookeeper Alan Best at
Stanley Park said it "may be on
its last wings."
Waddles About
The bird separates himself
from the rest of the penguins in
their Stanley Park cage and
waddles . slowly about, appar
ently in a world of his own. i
"That's a sure sign of sick
ness,' Best said. "We've been
feeding it every kind of tfrug

gtim.it was, Best replied "We
sdnt away . for king penguins
and this is what we got."
The penguin is called Number
Eight, while the other penguins
walk around the cage, Number
Eight stands solemnly with his
pink beak snuggled to his white
chest. Occasionally he responds,
and ... moves his beak, slowly
while staring glumly at the. peo
ple around him. - V
'r Best said the bird's pink beak
was not a sign of illness. "We've
clipped the pink . covering" off
the other birds but didn't want
to touch Number Eight because
of, his illness.
Special Food
, The : usual penguin's diet is
salmon and other types of small
fish. lut Number Eight, whose
actions have won for him the
name "The Undertaker," has his
food especially prepared. : ;
."It's . funny we're paying so
much for medicine .for him and
nobody, really knows anything
about him," Best said; ; i '
- His sex is the biggest mystery,
the zookeeper added. "It prob
ably doesn't know what it is it
self.": -'V;;; Vvv;.
r Another . reason "The ; Under
taker" is expected to die within
the next : few- weeks is -his sag
ging posture. . -; ;
"He's the only penguin in the
bunch who has a paunch."
