Penguin Swims From NZ To Australia.

A small penguin has swum from New Zealand to Australia. The Fiordland penguin was caught struggling against rocks in the shallow at Kennett river, west of Melbourne, on 10 July.

The Fiordland penguin has been taken to Melbourne Zoo by the marine experts and had been given a balance of fluids and nutrients until it is well enough to eat less food. The penguin has just been let go in the wild and I just hope it would come back to New Zealand.

The penguin has been traveling 2500km
