Police said a student stole three baby penguins from a zoo in Norway（挪威）. People are trying their best to find the chicks before time runs out.

Workers in the zoo said the little penguins cannot live long outside. And one egg was also lost with the three chicks early on Thursday."They will not be able to live for much longer. They should be in the zoo for maybe two to three more weeks before they go outside." One of the workers said.

“The video showed that five or six students went into the zoo”, a policeman said, "But none of them admits taking the penguins." 

More than 100 people turned up to help police look for the little birds in the countryside around the zoo. The chicks are around three weeks old and weigh only around 300 grams (10 ounces) each.
