Penguins..

Anyone here the news today about a truck carrying excotic animals that overturned outside of Marshall TX? The truck was on its way to Moody Gardens in Galveston(they have a large King Penguin exhibit). 4 of the penguins, some fish, and birds died in the accident. I am from marshall and Dave and I live in Baytown near Galveston. Very sad but did not get all of the details.

they just said 3 penguins were run over by passing motorist, and one died in the crash. So far they are not saying how many birds and what kind died, just that several exotic birds were also killed.
