A 10-month old Emperor Penguin is making headlines after it suddenly showed up on the shores of New Zealand some 2,000 miles away from its natural habitat in the Antarctica. The 32-inch tuxedo bird was spotted just as it was trying to waddle out of the waters at the Peka Peka beach by local resident Christine Wilton, who happened to be walking with her dog.
