A young emperor penguin has taken a wrong turn and landed on a New Zealand beach. The bird, which is native to Antarctica, was spotted by a dog walker on a beach on the Kapiti coast near the capital, Wellington. It is the first sighting of an emperor penguin on the shores of New Zealand for 44 years.
The BBC reported the country’s Department of Conservation as saying that the penguin may have taken a wrong turn while hunting for squid. “This one just kept going north,” Colin Miskelly, a penguin expert at New Zealand’s national museum was reported saying. The emperor penguins usual home is 2,550km away.
