Antarctic penguin waddles ashore in New Zealand, 2,000 miles from home.
The rare visitor was spotted by resident Harry Singh, just south of Christchurch in Birdlings Flat on the southern island. A video captured by Singh shows the penguin wandering around on the beach.
The penguin was malnourished and severely dehydrated but after it was fed some "fish smoothies" it jumped across boulders and dove into the waves.Although the bird’s sex was not immediately determined, locals fondly named it “Pingu,” after the main character in a clay animated children’s TV series. “We picked a south-facing bay with not too many visitors and no dogs,” Anita Spencer, senior ranger at the Department of Conservation, told the Australian Associated Press. Rejuvenated and on its feet again, Pingu jumped across boulders and dove into the waves.
