Why I smuggled a penguin

Outlook

Available for over a year

When Tom Michell came across a penguin caught in an oil spill in Uruguay in the 1970s, he decided to rescue it, clean it and release it back to the wild. But the penguin had other ideas, and Tom ended up adopting it and smuggling it back to his home in Argentina. Outlook's Matthew Bannister spoke to Tom about this remarkable relationship.
