Which sentence from the article suggests that Happy Feet may have become accustomed to living in captivity?

At first, conservation authorities said they would wait and let nature take its course with the penguin.

The penguin slipped down the slide on his stomach, bottom first, she said.

And, perhaps befitting of a bird from the Internet age, those followers will be able to keep track of him for a while longer.

But when they opened the door of the crate, the penguin showed no interest in leaving.
