Paula the penguin poops on Ky. Senate floor

FRANKFORT — A penguin named Paula from the Newport Aquarium pooped on the state Senate floor Tuesday.

The African blackfooted penguin had been brought to the chamber Tuesday by Senate President Pro Tem Katie Stine, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader.

The Southgate Republican was presenting her resolution to honor the Newport Aquarium for its stewardship of sea life and penguins when Senate President David Williams told her the bird had “just defecated on the floor.”

With that business accomplished, Ric Urban curator of birds and mammals at the aquarium, placed Paula on the upper part of Williams’ desk while Stine finished presenting her resolution.

Urban also took Paula to meet Gov. Steve Beshear, who tweeted the photo here with this caption:

"Perhaps 1st time a penguin has been to KY Capitol? Today got a visit from Paula, penguin from the Newport Aquarium"
