Rare Antarctic penguin accidentally travels 3,000km to New Zealand

November 12, 2021

A penguin has http://england.anunciase.com/services/tvolve-reviews.html found itself on the shores of New Zealand, at least 3,000 kilometres (1,864 miles) away from its natural habitat of Antarctica. The Adélie penguin, who has now been affectionately named Pingu by locals, was found looking lost on the coast. Harry Singh, the local https://brainly.in/question/48500910 resident who found him, said he thought he was a "soft toy" at first.

It is only the third https://link.shutterfly.com/sP5TvzHh7kb recorded incident of an Adélie penguin being found on New Zealand's coast. Mr Singh and his wife first came across the penguin when they were out walking after a long https://www.merchantcircle.com/tvolve-reviews-new-york-ny day of work on the beach at Birdlings Flat, a settlement south of the city of Christchurch.

"First I thought https://www.tripoto.com/profile/ricjuriya it (was) a soft toy, suddenly the penguin moved his head , so I realized it was real," Mr Singh told the BBC. Footage of the penguin posted on Mr Singh's Facebook page showed the penguin appearing lost and alone. "It did not move for one hour... and https://www.skyscrapercity.com/members/ricjuriya.1625053/#about [looked] exhausted" Mr Singh said.

Mr Singh proceeded https://www.pressnews.biz/@ricjuriya/https-wwwipressusacom-sponsered-tvolve-reviews-p43kx6w7a8bj to call penguin rescuers as he was concerned that the penguin was not getting into the water, thereby making it a https://ricjuriya.podbean.com/ potential target for other predatory animals roaming the beach. "We did not want it to end up in a dog's or cat's stomach," he said. He eventually got through to Thomas Stracke, who has been rehabilitating penguins on New Zealand's South Island for https://www.pearltrees.com/ricjuriya/tvolve-reviews/id48350911 about 10 years.

Mr Stracke was https://www.completefoods.co/diy/recipes/ric-juriya shocked to find that the penguin was an Adélie penguin - a species that lives exclusively on the Antarctic peninsula. Mr Stracke, along with a veterinarian, rescued the https://educatorpages.com/site/ricjuriya/pages/our-classroom-website? penguin that same evening.

Underweight and dehydrated

Blood tests https://www.provenexpert.com/tvolve/ performed on Pingu showed that it was slightly underweight and dehydrated. It has since been given fluids and fed via a feeding tube. The bird will eventually be released onto https://promosimple.com/ps/15608/https-www-ipressusa-com-sponsered-tvolve-reviews a safe beach on Banks Peninsula, which is free of dogs.

The discovery is https://www.homify.com/ideabooks/8399245/tvolve-reviews only the third in history that an Adélie penguin has been found on New Zealand's coasts, following two incidents in 1993 and 1962. Adélie spottings remain rare in New Zealand, but if more of them appear in the future, it could be a worrying sign, https://www.face-world.net/1636698226795535_19851 say experts.

"I think if we https://devpost.com/ricjuriya?ref_content=user-portfolio&ref_feature=portfolio&ref_medium=global-nav started getting annual arrivals of Adélie penguins, we'd go actually, something's changed in the ocean that we need to understand," Otago University zoology professor Philip Seddon told news site The Guardian. "More studies will give us more understanding where penguins go, https://forum.omegarealm.com/members/ricjuriya.60717/#about what they do, what the population trends are like - they're going to tell us something about the health of that marine ecosystem in general."
