An emperor penguin that lost its way from Antarctica more than two months ago was released back into his native Southern Ocean waters Sunday.
"It's an indescribable feeling to see a patient finally set free," said Dr. Lisa Argilla, manager of veterinary science at Wellington Zoo, where the bird has been recuperating since New Zealanders discovered it in June on a beach north of the capital city.
Argilla said the penguin, nicknamed "Happy Feet" after the 2006 animated movie about emperor penguins, needed "some gentle encouragement" to slide down a ramp off the research vessel that transported it back home.
FULL STORY
I do hope the poor lost bird has been given a compass/GPS instrument-so it may find it's way home.
Awwwww.
Hope the little dude makes it.
My sentiments too!
"Gentle encouragement..." hope it wasn't like, "BOMBS AWAY...SWOOSH!"

Hi jeff franks r ohio So whats goin on my fellow republican
My wife is disabled (and has been since 91), and this past week has been a real challenge for her with all the E.R. and doctor office visits. It's taken it's toll on both of us. I haven't had much time to be the "blue-collar" republican on here that much, that I am. I've been working my ass off just to make my hours.
