The one-eyed Rockhopper penguin

As I was flicking through the tv tonight I briefly came across a show called "Michaela's Animal Road Trip". During this time they were showing and talking about the recovery of a Rockhopper penguin who had lost an eye. One of the vets / zoo keepers said the following, after which everyone was left in silence about whether to laugh or just carry on:

"Of course a one-eyed rockhopper penguin in captivity will cope a lot better than a penguin with one eye out in the wild, but over the next few days and weeks we will certainly be keeping an eye on him"

Oops.
