Two Welsh men have been charged in Australia with stealing a fairy penguin called Dirk.
The tourists went on a vodka binge before stealing a penguin, swimming with dolphins and letting off a fire extinguisher in a shark enclosure at a Gold Coast theme park.
A former British soldier and his bricklayer mate have admitted breaking into Sea World after getting drunk at a beach party last month.
The Welshmen, who are on working holidays in Australia, drank 1.5 litres of vodka between them before deciding to have an up close and personal experience with Australian wildlife.
Rhys Owen Jones, 21, formerly of the Royal Marines, and brickie Keri Mules, 20, pleaded guilty in Southport Magistrates Court today to trespassing, stealing, and keeping a protected animal.
Dressed in a penguin tie, lawyer Bill Potts told the court his clients meant no harm to Dirk the fairy penguin, who they took from Sea World.
And when they awoke with hangovers and found the bird in their room they tried to care for it by feeding it bread and putting it in the shower.
