Emperor Penguin Gus Returns to Sea After Stranding in Australia

An emperor penguin, nicknamed Gus, was released back into the wild off the southern coast of Western Australia after being found malnourished on a beach. The bird, which was thousands of miles from its Antarctic home, was rehabilitated by wildlife experts who helped it gain over seven pounds.
