My New Zealand Vacation - Happy Foot missing

  • Thread starter Pengwuino
  • Start date
In summary: Except maybe give us a good laugh.You've been watching too many Disney moviesEvo.What if the Native Americans said of the Pilgrims (pidgin for "penguins") "let Nature take its course"?In summary, a young penguin apparently took a wrong turn while swimming near Antarctica and endured a 2000-mile (3200-kilometre) journey to New Zealand. He is healthy, well-fed, and far from home, and quickly became the most popular attraction on a New Zealand beach. However, some people are thinking of putting him down because of his defective navigation skills.

I hope it's not like Andre the sea turtle. They fixed him up then sent him back out into the wild and found him dead just 3 weeks after releasing him. If they had let him continue to recover, he'd still be alive.

No sharks or predators?? How is this possible?

I knew it! He wasn't ready! :cry: :cry:

Happy Feet the penguin missing in Southern ocean!

The three-and-a-half year old male's home in Antarctica was about 2,000 kilometres further south and the hope was that he would join up with other emperor penguins on the long voyage.

They pushed him off of the boat, he didn't want to go. :cry:

Oh heck. It's probably just a defective transponder. Besides, if they hadn't intervened, he might not have even made to where they pushed him off the boat.

Just sayin'

:cry: You're so cold to the poor penguin.
Look at them pushing the poor thing. He probably died of a broken heart.

I'm just being realistic.

Researchers said Happy Feet may have been eaten, or the tracking device may have failed or fallen off.
