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.
Emperor penguins are the tallest and largest of all penguin species, growing up to 122cm high and weighing more than 34kg! (CBBC- Newsround)
