Penguins in the news...
How about the lost one?
Perhaps was just doing the George W Bush impersonation?
Or just trying to get back to a long lost - mailay may bichda huaa bhai?
This never gets old does it?
I actually think - this dude is too smart. Just wanted to enjoy the beaches of God Zone.
Antartica versus sunny beaches? No brainer or what?
And turns out - it is going to stay there.
No deportation for this smart aleck.

Emperor penguin takes wrong turn to New Zealand

WELLINGTON, New Zealand—A young Antarctic Emperor penguin has taken a rare wrong turn and ended up stranded on a New Zealand beach. Emperor penguins typically spend their entire lives in Antarctica and almost never make landfall near humans. It has been 44 years since a wild Emperor penguin was last sighted in New Zealand.
Conservation experts say the penguin is about 10 months old, and stands about 32 inches (80 centimeters) high. It likely took to the water several months ago to search for squid and krill and lost its way.
Experts say the bird is healthy but will need to find its way back south if it is to survive.
A resident discovered the bird while walking her dog Monday evening at Peka Peka Beach on the northwestern coast.
