Emperor penguin from Antarctic on New Zealand beach

Did you hear about the penguin from the Antarctic that turned up thousands of miles away in New Zealand?
It sounds like a joke - but that's what's just happened.
A woman walking her dog on the beach saw the young emperor penguin, which are usually found in the Antarctic.
It's the first official sighting of an Emperor penguin in New Zealand in 44 years. It's thought the bird took a wrong turn when it was at sea hunting for food - and ended up getting lost!
The visitor has attracted crowds of onlookers, who are being advised not to disturb the penguin and keep their dogs on leads.
