Have you ever wondered? A “bird” out of the Antarctic

Have you ever wondered? A “bird" out of the Antarctic

In Japan, there is a pet penguin named “Lala” that goes to the market every day to buy fish and then returns home alone.

We all expect a healthy “fish out of water” story, but how about a “bird out of Antarctica” headline? That’s progress! Meet LaLa, a king penguin that moved from his cold birthplace to a hot and humid town in Japan, where he lived as part of a human family. He’d end up leaving his air-conditioned accommodation and go to the local fish market (carrying a penguin-shaped backpack, of course) during the day.

I’m curious as to how LaLa ended up in Japan. He was discovered trapped in a fishing net with a crippled beak and wing, according to Greek myth. LaLa was discovered by a fisherman, who kept him on his boat with him. When the man returned, he presented the Nishimoto family with the bird. His injuries were treated and he was nursed back to health. They built a cold storage area for LaLa because he never left his caregivers.

Do you know which is the most expensive cricket bat in the history of cricket?

The most expensive cricket bat was Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s, which was sold at auction for £ 100,000. The bat was used by him in the 2011 world cup.

The world’s most expensive cricket bat costs a cool INR 83 lakh, and it’s the one Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni used in the 2011 World Cup final.

The money raised was reportedly used for the development of MS Dhoni’s wife’s charitable organization – Sakshi Foundation.

On a fateful day, exactly ten years ago, Mahendra Singh Dhoni hit probably the most famous six to help India win their second Cricket World Cup in Mumbai. Needing four runs from 11 balls against Sri Lanka, Dhoni lofted a Nuwan Kulasekara delivery.

While Ravi Shastri immortalized the iconic moment from the com box, “Dhoni finishes off in style. A magnificent strike into the crowd! India lifts the World Cup after 28 years,” Dhoni savoured the moment, standing there in the centre for a fleeting moment, with his bat raised. At that moment, he owned the world.
