Gus, thought to be the first emperor penguin to reach Australia, was seen trying to do a belly slide on the sand

An emperor penguin traveled over 2,000 miles from its Antarctic home, appearing on the shores of Ocean Beach in Denmark, a town in Western Australia. This rare sighting, made on November 1, might mark the first recorded visit of an emperor penguin on the Australian continent.

An emperor penguin found malnourished far from its Antarctic home on the Australian south coast is being cared for by a wildlife expert, a government department said Monday.
