HAPPY Feet may miss New Zealand after all, according to a tracking device showing the wayward emperor penguin is swimming north.
The penguin was liberated in sub-Antarctic waters south of Stewart Island yesterday more than two months after coming ashore on Pekapeka Beach near Wellington.

I’m sure they can find room in the zoo for ONE more penguin. I don’t know why they went thru all the expense to deport him.

I wonder if anybody gave any thought to the idea that maybe Happy Feet was sick and tired of living in the Antarctic and decided to move to NZ for good...

If you feed a stray dog or cat, the animal will continue to come back. This might also apply to penguins.

It's such a desolate place, with nothing much to do. I hope he doesn't become a snack for an orca.

We did the *penguin encounter* at the Mystic Aquarium. It was pretty cool, but from what I could tell up close, it's a pretty dumb bird. Incredible feathers.

I thought he was going to miss it as in, not make his way back there. Like, head back there but “miss” the island and go somewhere else.
