Octopus unhurt

to weird
"Four penguins and some exotic fish were killed in the accident, including three penguins that were hit by passing motorists, said Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Richard Buchanan. “The rest of the penguins kind of stayed together in the ditch.”

There was nothing "freak" about her driving like an idiot. Kind of pisses me off they dismiss her crappy driving as a "freak accident."

I wonder how much OTR experience she has. Plus she was probably on her phone. Those penguins were probably dying of heat exhaustion before they were rescured.

Spent some time around these little creatures.. very interesting. They seemed to be as interested in us, as we were of them. In the wild, they don't have the fear factor. When things get shakey... they band up... see "whats next" kinda thing.

Surprized the Heat did'nt get to'em.

WTF.....

...The remaining 21 other penguins survived the accident, although
some suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene
