BBC NEWS | Americas | Confused penguin strays 5,000km

"A Magellanic penguin whose natural habitat is the cool climes of southern Chile has strayed thousands of miles from his home, arriving in Peru.

The penguin, native to the Strait of Magellan region of Chile, swam all the way to Peru's Paracas national reserve.
Scientists say the bird appeared to have made the 5,000km (3,000-mile) journey alone. They say the penguin must have "got off course" to end up just 14 degrees south of the equator."

Poor little mite. I hope he finds his way.

Adds a whole new meaning to "Lost," doesn't it ? At least he'll probably fly home.

Oh, no. Don't you have enough problems with flying emus, without starting on penguins?
Perhaps he just didn't like cold water.
