Ill penguin stranded in NZ is offered a lift home
Associated Press-WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — A young emperor penguin stranded in New Zealand has survived two medical procedures and now has an offer of a lift home.
Yet the aquatic bird that many are calling Happy Feet — after the lighthearted 2006 movie — is not out of danger yet. The penguin remained on an intravenous drip Saturday and faces another procedure Monday to remove more sand from its digestive system.
If it does pull through, a businessman wants to take it by boat to Antarctica next February.
