Happy Feet

Happy Feet the emperor penguin has gone home finally.  He got lost swimming from Antartica and found his way north of Wellington.  So he has spent the past few weeks on holiday at our Zoo where he has been the star attraction.  A big science boat was heading south, so they have given him a lift half way there so he doesn't have to swim all the way.  Good luck Mr Happy Feet, we hope you find your way back to penguin land safely.

  1. It is fun that you had him at your Zoo, but a good thing for him to go back to the Antarctic where he really belongs.
