This penguin is single and looking for love

It’s not easy being single in a big city on Valentine’s Day, especially if you are a penguin from the other side of the globe. But Roxy, a four-year-old rock hopper penguin from the sub-antarctic islands, and London Zoo’s most popular single female, has one consolation. She has been receiving Valentine’s Day cards from people from all over the UK.

Roxy was previously at Whipsnade Zoo, but was moved because she was disturbing the other penguins eggs.

Now she is one of the London Zoo’s most popular and beloved attractions, with her MySpace page showing she has 431 friends and counting.
