An emperor penguin that made a remarkable journey from Antarctica to Australia has been successfully released back into the Southern Ocean after being found on a beach in southwest Australia. The adult male penguin, named Gus, was discovered on Ocean Beach sand dunes in the town of Denmark, thousands of kilometers away from its natural habitat.
The penguin was under the care of a wildlife caregiver, who helped nurse him back to health. Gus had lost weight and was undernourished when he was found, but with proper care and attention, he gained weight and was deemed fit for release.
