Emperor Penguin's Unprecedented Journey to Australian Shores

TL;DR Summary
An emperor penguin, the first of its species to be found in Australia, was discovered malnourished on a beach in Denmark, Western Australia, far from its Antarctic habitat. The penguin, an adult male, is being cared for by wildlife experts who are working to rehabilitate it, including using chilled water mist to help it adapt to the warmer climate. Weighing only 23 kilograms, the penguin is significantly underweight, as healthy males typically weigh over 45 kilograms. Authorities are considering options for potentially returning the penguin to Antarctica.
