The world's most lonely penguins

The bird black and white landed on a beach in the south of the North Island about 4000 miles from its usual habitat.

The journey of the animal’s amazing was seen by a woman walking her dog as a bird waddled 2ft out of the water in front of her. She said: `It was out of this world to see. `There was this thing standing on the brilliant white sand and I thought I saw things.

The tale of the lost penguin is similar to the 2006 children’s film Happy Feet, in which a young penguin is far away from home for a journey of discovery.

Environmentalists believe that it has completed an incredible journey for a young bird - it is estimated at about 10 months.

The most likely explanation for its appearance in New Zealand is the hunt for food.

Experts said he may also have rested on an ice floe during his trip and was carried north on a long distance before taking a bath for dry.

Colin Miskelly, a curator at the Museum of New Zealand, said:’they can spend months in both the ocean and only come ashore to moult and rest’.

Mr Miskelly said the bird courage would find his way to the south soon if she would survive. He said: “It is probably hot and thirsty and ate the wet sand.It` s make the isn’t sand will melt inside because they typically eat snow - their only liquid”.

New Zealand residents were warned to give the bird a wide berth - it can inflict a painful bite if threatened.

I think we can now this guy do is helping it go home soon. This is a brave penguin, in order to looking for food away from his hometown, lost way but its strong alive.
